Objective To study the influence of bleeding after using low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with thoracolumbar spinal bursting fracture and spinal cord injury operated by rear internal fixation. Methods 120 cases were divided into the observation group (64 cases) and control group (56 cases). The observation group accepted hypodermic injection of LMWH to prevent DVT, while the control group did not. Results The volume of bleeding and blood transfusion, the change of red blood cell count (RBC) and hemoglobin were compared between two groups before and after operation. There is no statistical significance. Conclusion During the period of the operation of rear internal fixation, low molecular weight heparin cannot increase the bleeding and is safe to prevent deep vein thrombosis.

Objective:To compare postural reduction combined with percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs).Methods:From January 2019 to January 2020,68 patients with OVCFs who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in the Second Hospital of Tangshan Hebei Province were included in the observation study. A prospective randomized controlled study was used. The matched groups were divided into PVP combined group (adjust the overextension of the operating table by 20°-30°, if the posture reduction fails, pry the puncture needle on both sides in reverse according to the compression degree of the end plate before operation, and inject bone cement) and PKP group (do not adjust the operating table before operation, insert a balloon and expand on both sides after operation, and inject bone cement), with 34 cases in each group. The Cobb angle of the injured vertebrae was measured by taking the anterior and lateral X-ray film of the patient's lumbar spine before operation. The degree of pain and low back function were evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswetry disability index (ODI). The operation time and fluoroscopy times were recorded during the operation. On the second day after operation, the anterior and lateral X-ray of lumbar spine were taken to measure the Cobb angle of injured vertebrae. All patients were underwent computed tomography (CT) check the bone cement for leakage, record the VAS score, and record the ODI 3 months after operation to evaluate the patient's function. Follow up at the end of 12 months after operation to count the treatment cost and re-fracture of the patient. The data analysis and measurement data were compared by independent sample t-test between the two groups, paired sample t-test was used for intra-group comparison before and after operation. χ 2 test was used for counting data comparison between two groups. Results:All patients were followed up for 12 months. The operation time ((42.7±5.9) min), fluoroscopy times ((20.0±3.6) times) and treatment cost ((19 153±601) yuan) in the PVP combined group were better than those in the PKP Group ((67.4±7.3) min, (30.1±5.9) times, (27 496±669) yuan), and the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 15.39, 8.46, 54.12; all P<0.001). Cobb angle: Postoperative Cobb angle of injured vertebrae in the two groups (PVP combined group (10.7±4.5)°) and (PKP group (13.4±3.8)°) decreased compared with preoperative (PVP combined group (17.0±5.1)°) and (PKP group (16.7±5.1)°) ( t values were 10.61, 5.61; all P=0.001), and PVP combined group recovered better than PKP group, with statistically significant difference ( t=2.70, P=0.009). VAS score: Postoperative (PVP combined group (3.9±1.5) points) and (PKP group (4.1±1.6) points) was lower than preoperative the scores of (PVP combined group (6.9±1.1) points) and (PKP group (7.1±0.9) points), and the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 8.63, 8.88; all P=0.001). There was no significant difference in VAS scores between the two groups ( t=0.48, P=0.630). ODI scores: The scores of (PVP combined group (0.315±0.068)) and (PKP group (0.319±0.077)) after operation were lower than preoperative (PVP combined group (0.574±0.066), (PKP group (0.553±0.075)), and the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 18.54, 14.16, all P=0.001). There was no significant difference in ODI between the two groups ( t=0.25, P=0.803). There was no statistical significance in the two groups of postoperative bone cement leakage (χ 2=0.22, P=0.642). In PVP combined group, 1 case was re-fractured due to trauma, and there was no re-fracture in PKP group. Conclusion:Postural reduction combined with percutaneous needle prying reduction of PVP and PKP can alleviate the pain, improve the postoperative function and restore kyphosis in patients with OVCFs. Postural reduction combined with needle prying reduction of PVP has more advantages in operation time, radiation injury to doctors and patients, treatment cost, and the effect of correcting deformity is more significant.
