Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral fractures with posterior vertebral wall breakage can relieve pain rapidly, but there is a risk of leakage of bone cement.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of bone filling mesh container in percutaneous kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral fractures with posterior vertebral wall breakage.
METHODS: Forty senile patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures were enrolled, whose CT and MRI showed different degrees of posterior vertebral wall breakage, including 19 males (21 vertebral bodies) and 21 females (28 vertebral bodies), aged 50-87 years. These 40 patients were subjected to percutaneous kyphoplasty, and bone filling mesh container was used to deliver bone cement. Then, changes in visual analogue scale score, vertebral height and leakage of bone cement were observed in patients before and after treatment.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The surgery was successful in all the 40 patients, and no pulmonary embolism, cement leakage, and spinal cord and nerve root injuries appeared. All the patients were followed for 10-12 months. The visual analogue scale scores and vertebral height were improved significantly at both 1 week and 3 months after treatment compared with those before treatment, but there was no difference in the visual analogue scale scores and vertebral height at 1 week and 3 months after treatment. These findings indicate that percutaneous kyphoplasty with bone filling mesh container is effective to prevent bone cement leakage.
