Abstract: BACKGROUND: There are few studies on the effect of degeneration of paraspinal muscle on osteoporotic vertebral compression refractures treated by percutaneous vertebroplasty in postmenopausal women. This paper intends to reveal the relationship between them.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between degeneration of paraspinal muscle and osteoporotic vertebral compression refractures in postmenopausal women treated by percutaneous vertebroplasty.  
METHODS: The medical records of 81 postmenopausal female patients who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from May 2018 to March 2021 for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture and received percutaneous vertebroplasty were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into an osteoporotic vertebral compression refracture group (n=39) and a control group (n=42) according to whether they had osteoporotic vertebral compression refracture after percutaneous vertebroplasty. General data, vertebral bone mineral density, paravertebral cross-sectional area and mean CT value (Hu) of the two groups were analyzed. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Univariate analysis showed that there was no significant difference in age and mean CT value of psoas major between the two groups (P > 0.05). The body mass index, vertebral bone mineral density, paravertebral cross-sectional area and the mean CT value of the posterior vertebral muscle group in the control group were significantly higher than those in the osteoporotic vertebral compression refracture group (P < 0.05). (2) Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low vertebral bone mineral density (OR=0.004, 95%CI: 0.000-0.555, P < 0.05) and low mean CT value of posterior vertebral muscle group (OR=0.940, 95%CI: 0.894-0.988, P < 0.05) were independent risk factors for postmenopausal osteoporotic vertebral compression refracture. (3) It is indicated that degeneration of paraspinal muscle will increase the risk of osteoporotic vertebral compression refractures in patients treated by percutaneous vertebroplasty, especially in postmenopausal women with a low mean CT value of low posterior vertebral muscle group.
