Abstract:
Objective:To compare the clinical efficacies of precision targeted and traditional percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in the treatment of refracture of injured vertebra after operation for Kümmell disease.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 23 Kümmell disease patients suffering from refracture of injured vertebra after PVP in Zhengzhou Orthopedic Hospital from October 2014 to October 2018. The patients included 7 males and 16 females, aged 53-89 years [(69.3±3.5)years]. There were 11 patients of stage I Kümmell disease and 12 patients of stage II Kümmell disease. The vertebral distribution of fracture was T 11 (3 patients), T 12 (9 patients), L 1 (8 patients) and L 2 (3 patients). Eleven patients received traditional PVP treatment (traditional PVP group) and 12 patients received precision targeted PVP treatment (targeted PVP group). The operation time, amount of bone cement injection and filling of bone cement in the fracture space were compared between the two groups. The visual analogue score (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were also compared before operation, at 2 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months after operation, and at the last follow-up. The rates of bone cement leakage and re-collapse of injured vertebra were observed in the two groups. Results:The patients were followed up for 12-36 months [(24.2±2.6)months]. There were no significant differences in the operation time or amount of bone cement injection between the two groups (all P>0.05). All the fracture spaces in the targeted PVP group were fully filled with bone cement, while 4 patients in the traditional PVP group showed inadequate filling of the fracture area ( P<0.05). The VAS values in the targeted PVP group were (8.9±0.5)points, (1.6±0.2)points, (1.7±0.1)points, (1.8±0.1)points, (1.9±0.3)points, and (1.8±0.4)points before operation, at 2 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months after operation and at the last follow-up; and those in the traditional PVP group were (9.1±0.9)points, (1.8±0.4)points, (1.8±0.2)points, (2.0±0.4)points, (2.1±0.2)points, and (2.4±0.3)points, respectively. The VAS values of both groups were significantly decreased at 2 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months after operation, and at the last follow-up compared with those before operation (all P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between different time points after operation (all P>0.05). No significant differences were found in the VAS values between the two groups before operation and at 2 days, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation (all P>0.05). However, the VAS value in the targeted PVP group was significantly lower than that in the traditional PVP group at the last follow-up ( P<0.05). The ODI values in the targeted PVP group were 38.5±4.3, 7.2±2.3, 7.3±2.0, 7.2±1.8, 7.3±2.4, and 7.4±2.5 before operation and at 2 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months after operation, and at last follow-up; and those in the traditional PVP group were 37.8±4.1, 7.5±2.5, 7.7±1.9, 7.9±2.4, 8.1±2.6, and 9.6±2.4, respectively. The ODI values of both groups were significantly decreased at 2 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months after operation and at the last follow-up compared with those before operation (all P<0.05), but there were no significant differences between different time points after operation (all P>0.05). The ODI values were not significantly different between the two groups before operation and at 2 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months after operation (all P>0.05), but the ODI value in the targeted PVP group was significantly lower than that in the traditional PVP group at the last follow-up ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the rates of bone cement leakage or re-collapse of injured vertebra between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with traditional PVP treatment for refracture of injured vertebra after operation for Kümmell disease, targeted PVP can make bone cement injection fully dispersed, greatly reduce pain and promote functional recovery.
