Abstract:

BACKGROUND: It remains controversial about the clinical outcomes of bone filling mesh containers (BFMCs) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in pain relief, kyphosis correction, vertebral height restoration and reduction of cement leakage.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical outcomes of BFMCs and PKP for osteoporotic vertebral compressive fracture.
METHODS: A total of 90 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compressive fracture were equivalently randomized into two groups, followed by treated with BFMCs or PKP, respectively. During a more than 3-month follow-up, pain relief, kyphotic angle, the vertebral height and cement leakage were observed in the two groups to assess the therapeutic effects.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Pain in all patients was relieved at 24 hours after operation. There was no significant difference in pain relief between two groups (P > 0.05). PKP was more effective to restore the vertebral height (P < 0.05), while BMCFs significantly reduced the leakage rate of bone cement (P < 0.05). These results suggest that BFMCs and PKP have their own advantages in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compressive fracture, but both exert analgesic effects.
