Abstract:

BACKGROUND: At the early stage of Kümmell disease, acrylic resin bone cement vertebroplasty for symptomatic vertebrae by using minimally invasive methods results in minor trauma and can get a good clinical effectiveness.
OBJECTIVE: To verify the clinical effect of acrylic resin bone cement vertebroplasty for Kümmell disease.
METHODS: Clinical data of 12 cases of Kümmell disease undergoing acrylic resin bone cement vertebroplasty (2008-01/2010-06) in the Department of Spinal Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine was retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After surgery for 1 week and 6 months, scores on the numeric rating scale of the 12 cases were significantly improved (P < 0.001). Besides, vertebral kyphosis angle and vertebral compression rate were improved (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that acrylic resin bone cement vertebroplasty for Kümmell disease can achieve good clinical results.
