Abstract
PURPOSE Short-term efficacy of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) in elderly patients is good, but long-term complications such as vertebral recompression (VRC) and adjacent vertebral fracture (AVF) may arise. Identifying risk factors in patients with poor prognoses, we developed a nomogram model to mitigate these potential complications. METHODS Patients with OVCFs who underwent PKP had their medical data retrospectively evaluated. Analysis of the sample included their pre- and postoperative conditions. Stepwise logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify independent risk factors for postoperative complications. For forecasting the likelihood of postoperative comorbidities, we offered a nomogram. The prognostic performance was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), calibration curve, and decision curve analyses (DCA). Internal model validation using the Bootstrap method. RESULTS A total of 235 patients were included in this study. Among them, 147 patients were utilized to develop nomograms and for internal validation, while the remaining 88 patients from a different time period were designated as the external validation cohort. The results of stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that thoracolumbar (TL) fracture, posterior wall of vertebral fracture, vertebral compression > 30%, and lack of continuous anti-osteoporosis therapy after surgery as independent risks associated with poor prognosis. The nomogram exhibited outstanding predictive accuracy and clinical utility. CONCLUSIONS This study identified four independent predictors of poor prognosis following PKP and devised a straightforward yet efficient predictive model. This model offers valuable insights for guiding clinical decision-making in the management of elderly patients with OVCFs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although many risk factors for residual pain following percutaneous vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty (PVP or PKP) have been reported in many studies, research methods and cohorts differ greatly. A previous meta-analysis identified patient- and operation-specific risk factors for residual pain. This study aimed to examine the available data and identify significant risk factors for residual pain after PVP or PKP. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Chinese Wanfang Database were searched for relevant research in English and Chinese, and full-text publications including patients with and without residual pain were compared. Only studies presenting odds ratios from multivariate analysis of residual pain data were considered. To evaluate the impact of the results of the selected articles, Review Manager 5.4 was used. RESULTS Twelve publications including a total of 3120 patients met the requirements. The meta-analysis examined 10 factors associated with residual pain and categorized them as either patient- or operation-associated factors. Thoracolumbar fascia injury, intravertebral vacuum cleft, depression, and number of fractured vertebrae were all significant patient-associated parameters for residual pain. Significant operation-associated risk factors included bone cement distribution and intraoperative facet joint injury. CONCLUSIONS In this meta-analysis, we identified several significant risk factors for residual pain after PVP or PKP. These findings may be helpful for patient counseling and surgical planning.

Efficacy and Complication Rates of Percutaneous Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty in the Treatment of Vertebral Compression Fractures: A Retrospective Analysis of 280 Patients. J Clin Med 2024; 13:1495. [PMID: 38592338 PMCID: PMC10933847 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13051495] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and kyphoplasty (PKP) are established methods in the treatment of vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). In our manuscript, the target was to evaluate the efficacy of PVPs/PKPs and to determine the implications of potential periprocedural complications. Methods: 280 patients, specifically 194 women (69.3%) and 86 men (30.7%), were enrolled. We used the AO spine fractures classification and the Yeom classification to determine the subtype of cement leakage. Only single-level VCFs of the thoracic or lumbar spine were included. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was assessed preoperatively and regularly after the surgery. Vertebral compression ratio (VBCR) was used to determine postoperative vertebral body collapse. Results: We recorded 54 cases (19.3%) of cement leakage. There was a significant decrease in mean VAS scores (6.82-0.76 in PVPs, 7.15-0.81 in PKPs). The decrease in VBCR was greater in the VP group (4.39%; 84.21-79.82) compared to the KP group (1.95%; 74.36-72.41). Conclusions: No significant difference in the risk of cement leakage when comparing KPs and VPs was found. VPs and KPs provide rapid and significant pain relief in patients with VCFs. Clinically relevant complications of VPs and KPs are rare. Kyphoplasties prevent further vertebral body collapse more effectively compared to vertebroplasties.

Effects of Percutaneous Kyphoplasty for the Treatment of Thoracic Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures with or without Intravertebral Cleft in Elderly Patients. Int J Gen Med 2024; 17:193-203. [PMID: 38268860 PMCID: PMC10807278 DOI: 10.2147/ijgm.s447623] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Few studies have focused on percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the treatment of thoracic osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) with intervertebral cleft (IVC). Hence, the objective of this retrospective study was to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of PKP in elderly patients with thoracic OVCFs, with or without IVC. Methods A total of 106 patients were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups: the IVC group and the NIVC group (without IVC). Radiographic measures included anterior vertebral height (AVH), thoracic kyphosis (TK), lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), and sacral slope (SS). Clinical function measures included Oswestry disability index (ODI) and visual analog scale (VAS) scores. Results There were no significant differences in the preoperative basic data between the groups classified as IVC and NIVC. However, both groups showed significant improvements in AVH and TK throughout the follow-up periods compared to the preoperative measurements (P<0.05). The recovery of AVH in the IVC group was found to be inferior to that in the NIVC group at 3 years after operation (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in LL, PI, PT and SS in both groups compared with the preoperative results and no statistically significant differences between the two groups at the same follow-up time (P>0.05). The VAS and ODI scores during all follow-up periods were significantly lower than those before operation (P<0.05). At 3 years after operation, the VAS and ODI scores of the IVC group were higher than those of the NIVC group (P<0.05). Conclusion PKP is an adoptable measure to treat thoracic OVCFs with or without IVC. Our study revealed that the NIVC group was superior to the IVC group in terms of improved vertebral height and pain recovery at long-term follow-up (3 years).

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study. PURPOSE The study objectives were as follows: 1) to analyze the factors influencing the occurrence of the intravertebral shell phenomenon (ISP) after thoracolumbar spinal fracture surgery and the evolutionary outcome of this phenomenon; and 2) to make recommendations for the clinical prevention and treatment of ISP. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 331 patients with single-segment fractures of the thoracolumbar spine treated with internal fixation via a pedicle screw-rod system. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze factors influencing ISP. RESULTS A total of 260 patients (78.5%) developed ISP after surgery. Reduced bone mineral density, screw insertion depth, degree of vertebral body injury, and excessive vertebral body spreading were significantly associated with the occurrence of ISP (P < 0.05). A total of 166 of the 260 patients were reviewed via CT at 1 year postoperatively. Among them, 104 patients (62.6%) showed shrinkage or healed vertebral cavities, and 62 patients (37.4%) showed enlarged vertebral cavities or collapsed endplates. CONCLUSION In clinical management, surgeons need to focus on risk factors for ISP, which include decreased bone density, preoperative vertebral overcompression, intraoperative vertebral overextension, screw insertion depth, and the degree of vertebral repositioning. At the 1-year postoperative follow-up, some of the vertebrae with ISP failed to heal or even showed vertebral cleft enlargement, which would affect the stability of the internal fracture fixation device and the quality of the patient's daily life.

Establishment of a risk prediction model for residual low back pain in thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures after percutaneous kyphoplasty. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:41. [PMID: 38184651 PMCID: PMC10771681 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04528-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/01/2024] [Indexed: 01/08/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to identify potential independent risk factors for residual low back pain (LBP) in patients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) following percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) treatment. Additionally, we aim to develop a nomogram that can accurately predict the occurrence of residual LBP. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of the medical records of thoracolumbar OVCFs patients who underwent PKP treatment at our hospital between July 2021 and December 2022. Residual LBP was defined as the presence of moderate or greater pain (VAS score ≥ 4) in the low back one day after surgery, and patients were divided into two groups: the LBP group and the non-LBP group. These patients were then randomly allocated to either a training or a validation set in the ratio of 7:3. To identify potential risk factors for residual LBP, we employed lasso regression for multivariate analysis, and from this, we constructed a nomogram. Subsequently, the predictive accuracy and practical clinical application of the nomogram were evaluated through a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, a calibration curve, and a decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS Our predictive model revealed that five variables-posterior fascial oedema, intravertebral vacuum cleft, time from fracture to surgery, sarcopenia, and interspinous ligament degeneration-were correlated with the presence of residual LBP. In the training set, the area under the ROC was 0.844 (95% CI 0.772-0.917), and in the validation set, it was 0.842 (95% CI 0.744-0.940), indicating that the model demonstrated strong discriminative performance. Furthermore, the predictions closely matched actual observations in both the training and validation sets. The decision curve analysis (DCA) curve suggested that the model provides a substantial net clinical benefit. CONCLUSIONS We have created a novel numerical model capable of accurately predicting the potential risk factors associated with the occurrence of residual LBP following PKP in thoracolumbar OVCFs patients. This model serves as a valuable tool for guiding specific clinical decisions for patients with OVCFs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was performed to investigate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for vertebral compression fractures with different bone mineral densities (BMD). METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 232 patients with single-segment vertebral compression fractures who underwent PKP. Patients were divided into the normal BMD, osteopenia, and osteoporosis groups according to their average lumbar BMD before surgery. The visual analog scale (VAS) was used to compare differences in pain relief before and after surgery in each group. Corrections of the wedge angle and kyphotic angle before and after surgery were observed using anteroposterior and lateral radiographs and compared among the groups, as was the incidence of bone cement leakage. RESULTS Patients were followed up for 6-12 months, with an average follow-up time of 9.12 ± 1.68 months. The VAS score, wedge angle, and kyphotic angle of the three groups of patients decreased significantly at the end of the follow-up (P < 0.05). The changes in VAS score and wedge angle correction in the osteoporosis group were significantly larger than those in the normal BMD and osteopenia groups (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences among the three groups in terms of kyphotic angle correction or bone cement leakage rates (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS PKP has a positive effect on vertebral compression fractures with different BMD, and is especially suitable for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to analyze the risk factors of bone cement leakage in percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs), and provide suggestions for reducing bone cement leakage. METHODS A retrospective study of 517 cases of OVCFs treated with PKP were divided into 2 groups according to whether they had bone cement leakage or not, leakage group (n = 72) and non-leakage group (n = 445). The risk factors of leakage were systematically analyzed using clinical baseline data, imaging observation data, and surgery-related factors. To select the statistically significant results (P < 0.05) among the risk factors mentioned above, we used the binary logistic regression method to identify the main risk factors. RESULTS The univariate analysis of clinical baseline data,imaging observation data, and surgery-related factors showed that bone mineral density (BMD) (P < 0.001), hypertension (P < 0.05), injury factors (P < 0.01), cortical defect (P < 0.001), grade of vertebral compression (P < 0.001), surgical approach (P < 0.05), stage of bone cement injection (P < 0.01), and balloon pressure (P < 0.05) were the risk factors for bone cement leakage. The recovery rate of vertebral height, and the Cobb angle correction rate were lower in the bone cement leakage group (P < 0.001). The correction effect of kyphosis after operation was limited. Binary logistic analysis results showed that BMD (odds ratio [OR] 5.605), cortical defect (OR 3.115), and stage of bone cement injection (OR 2.385) were bone cement leakage-independent risk factors. CONCLUSIONS Impairment of BMD value, defects of cortical bone, and inappropriate stage of bone cement injection will increase the risk of bone cement leakage in PKP treatment and limit PKP effects.

Front Surg 2023; 10:1061498. [PMID: 36778647 PMCID: PMC9909088 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2023.1061498] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Study design Retrospective study of clinical and radiological parameters. Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and long-term stability of bone cement of the bilateral pedicle anchoring technique with percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in the treatment of Kümmell's disease (KD). Summary of background data The optimal treatment regimen for KD remains controversial. With the development of minimally invasive orthopedic techniques, PVP has been widely recognized for its advantages, such as less surgical trauma, shorter operation time, less blood loss, quick recovery, and pain relief. Previous reports indicate that in patients who undergo PVP for KD, bone cement may be displaced, causing pain recurrence, or it may enter the spinal canal and cause spinal cord compression, especially in the long term. Theoretically, the bilateral pedicle anchoring technique can enhance the stability of the bone cement in the vertebral body and reduce the occurrence of long-term bone cement displacement. However, there are few reports on the use of this technique to treat KD. This study reports the mid- and long-term follow-up of the clinical and radiological outcomes of the bilateral pedicle anchoring technique with PVP for the treatment of KD. Methods From January 2016 to January 2019, 41 patients with KD treated using the bilateral pedicle anchoring technique with PVP in our hospital were enrolled. There were 10 men and 31 women with an average age of 76.5 ± 8.0 years (range: 55-92 years). The average follow-up duration was 19.3 ± 8.0 months (range: 12-38 months). Visual analog scale (VAS) scores, Oswestry disability index (ODI), anterior vertebral height, kyphotic angle, and wedge angle were recorded before surgery, 1 day after surgery, and at the last follow-up. Clinical efficacy, vertebral height recovery, and bone cement displacement were analyzed in combination using plain radiographs, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and other imaging data. Results All the patients successfully underwent the procedure without serious complications. No obvious displacement of bone cement was found in the imaging data obtained 1 day after the operation and at the last follow-up. VAS scores, ODI scores, anterior vertebral height, kyphotic angle, and wedge angle of the injured vertebrae significantly improved after surgery. There was no significant difference between the anterior vertebral height, kyphotic angle, and wedge angle of the vertebral body obtained 1 day after surgery and those obtained at the last follow-up. Bone cement leakage occurred in seven patients, with no abnormal clinical symptoms. Conclusion The bilateral pedicle anchoring technique with PVP integrates the use of bone cement in both the vertebral body and the bone cement in the pedicle, enhances the stability of the bone cement, and effectively prevents the displacement of the intravertebral bone cement. The postoperative bone cement stability was high, the clinical effect was obvious, and the long-term follow-up results were satisfactory. Hence, this is a safe and effective surgical method for the treatment of KD.

Effectiveness and prognostic factors of different minimally invasive surgeries for vertebral compression fractures. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:11. [PMID: 36609293 PMCID: PMC9817397 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-06125-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 12/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aging of China's population has led to an increase in the incidence rate of osteoporosis, which indirectly increases the risk of OVCF in osteoporosis patients. Low back pain is the main symptom of OVCF, and severe patients can further develop kyphosis. Although the conservative treatment of OVCF can effectively control the patient's condition, long-term bed rest will increase the risk of OVCF complications. Minimally invasive surgery is a common solution for OVCF. METHODS 100 OVCF patients admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 are selected for analysis and randomly divided into PVP group and PKP group, 50 cases in each group. The PVP group and the PKP group undergo PVP and PKP operations respectively. The differences in efficacy indicators and adverse reactions are compared, and the multivariate Logistic regression method is used to analyze the influencing factors of postoperative secondary fractures in patients with vertebral compression fractures. RESULTS Compared with the PVP group, the total effective rate of PKP group is significantly increased, and the VAS, ODI score, kyphotic Cobb Angle, lateral distribution rate of bone cement and bone cement leakage rate are significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Age ≥ 80 years old, female, glucocorticoid use, lateral distribution of bone cement and bone cement leakage are significantly higher in the proportion of secondary fractures and are independent risk factors for postoperative secondary fractures in patients with OVCF. CONCLUSION PKP surgery has a higher efficacy in the treatment of OVCF patients, which can reduce the incidence of pain, adverse reactions and promote the recovery of kyphotic Cobb Angle. PKP surgery has a higher value in the treatment of OVCF. In addition, the influencing factors of secondary fracture after minimally invasive surgery in OVCF patients include age, gender, glucocorticoid use, bone cement distribution pattern, bone cement leakage, etc.

A predictive nomogram for intradiscal cement leakage in percutaneous kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures combined with intravertebral cleft. Front Surg 2022; 9:1005220. [PMID: 36277280 PMCID: PMC9581225 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.1005220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND For patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) treated with percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP), the occurrence and risk factors of intradiscal cement leakage should be characteristic of the presence of intravertebral cleft (IVC). This study aimed to identify risk factors for intradiscal leakage in individuals with OVCFs combined with IVC treated with PKP and build a powered and well-calibrated predictive nomogram. METHODS This study retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients who underwent PKP at our center between January 2016 and May 2021. Patients diagnosed with OVCFs combined with IVC were identified, and the incidence of different types of bone cement leakage was recorded. Risk factors for intradiscal leakage among the demographic, perioperative baseline, and radiologic data were identified, following which a nomogram was developed and verified. RESULTS A total of 109 eligible patients were included, and the intradiscal leakage rate was 32.1%. Compression rate (odds ratio [OR] 0.025; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.002-0.264; P = 0.002) and cemented vertebral body fraction (OR 44.122; 95% CI 2.790-697.740; P = 0.007) were identified as independent risk factors. A predictive nomogram with good predictive power (C-statistic = 0.786) and fitness of data (Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, P = 0.092) was established to build a quantitative relationship between the risk factors and intradiscal leakage. CONCLUSION The incidence rate of intradiscal leakage in PKP for OVCFs combined with IVC was 32.1%. Compression rate and cemented vertebral body fraction were identified as independent risk factors. A powered and well-calibrated nomogram was established to accurately predict the probability of intradiscal leakage. Further prospective and multicenter studies are required to verify and calibrate our findings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Currently, the risk factors for subsequent fracture following vertebral augmentation remain incomplete and controversial. To provide clinicians with accurate information for developing a preventive strategy, we carried out a comprehensive evaluation of previously controversial and unexplored risk factors. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture in lumbar spine who received vertebral augmentation between January 2019 and December 2020. Based on whether refracture occurred, patients were assigned to refracture and non-refracture group. The clinical characteristics, imaging parameters (severity of vertebral compression, spinal sagittal alignment, degeneration of paraspinal muscles), and surgical indicators (cement distribution and leakage, correction of spinal sagittal alignment) were collected and analyzed. RESULTS There were 128 patients and 16 patients in non-refracture and refracture group. The incidence of previous fracture, multiple fractures, and cement leakage were notably higher, relative cross-sectional area of psoas (r-CSAPS) was significantly smaller, CSA ratio, fatty infiltration of erector spinae plus multifidus (FIES+MF), FIPS, postoperative lumbar lordosis (post-LL), correction of body angel (BA), and LL were significantly greater in refracture group. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed previous fracture, cement leakage, post-LL, and correction of BA were independent risk factors. According to the ROC curve, correction of BA showed the highest prediction accuracy, and the critical value was 3.45°. CONCLUSIONS The occurrence of subsequent fracture might be the consequence of multiple factors. Previous fracture, cement leakage, post-LL, and correction of BA were identified as independent risk factors. Furthermore, the correction of BA should not exceed 3.45°, especially in patients with risk factors.

Abstract
Background Intravertebral vacuum phenomenon (IVP) is a special sign after vertebral fractures, which is common in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and may indicate pseudarthrosis and bone nonunion that lead to spinal instability. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of kyphoplasty (KP) in treating such types of vertebral fractures with AS. Methods Sixteen patients with AS suffering from thoracic or lumbar fractures with IVP received KP from 2015 to 2020 and were monitored for more than 1 year. The visual analog scale (VAS) score was used to evaluate back pain relief. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire was used to assess the improvement of the patients' living quality. The anterior and middle vertebral height restoration ratio (AVH, MVH) and the kyphotic angle (KA) were used to evaluate the radiographic results. Results The mean follow-up period was 20.8 months (12–28 months). The VAS and ODI significantly reduced at 3 days, 3 months after surgery, and at the last follow-up compared with the preoperative outcomes (p < 0.05). The AVH and MVH were significantly increased compared with the preoperative outcomes (p < 0.05). There was a significant correction in the KA between pre- and postoperative assessments (p < 0.05). Asymptomatic intradiscal polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement leakage was found in two patients. Conclusions For thoracic or lumbar fractures with IVP in AS patients, KP may be safe and effective, which achieves pain relief and satisfying functional improvement, restores the anterior and middle height, and corrects the kyphotic angle of the fractured vertebra.

Abstract
Purpose To comparatively analyze the clinical and radiographic outcomes of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in patients with severe osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (sOVCF) with or without intravertebral cleft (IVC). Methods We enrolled a total of 75 patients with sOVCF receiving PKP between January 2016 and December 2018. The patients were divided into the following two groups based on their radiographic findings: with IVC (IVC group) and without IVC (NIVC group). The following radiographic outcomes were determined: anterior vertebral height (AVH), kyphotic angle (KA), lumbar lordosis (LL), sacral slope (SS), pelvic incidence (PI), and pelvic tilt (PT). The clinical functional assessment included Oswestry disability index (ODI) and visual analog scale (VAS) scores. Results No significant difference was found between the demographic data of the two groups (P > 0.05). AVH, KA, and LL in both groups were significantly corrected one month after surgery (P < 0.05). There was statistical difference between the two groups in AVH and KA one year and three years after surgery, and in LL and PT three years after surgery (P < 0.05). Compared with the results one month after surgery, AVH, KA, and LL of the IVC group deteriorated significantly one year and three years after surgery, whereas AVH, KA, and LL of the NIVC group deteriorated significantly three years after surgery (P < 0.05). The VAS and ODI scores in both groups decreased significantly one month, one year, and three years after surgery than preoperative results (P < 0.05), and a statistical difference was observed between the two groups three years after surgery (P < 0.05). Conclusion PKP can give satisfactory outcomes for the treatment of sOVCF with or without IVC. However, the NIVC group showed better clinical outcomes and could maintain spinal sagittal balance better than the IVC group during long-term follow-up.

Abstract
Background The published literatures indicate that patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) benefit significantly from percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP), but this surgical technique is associated with frequent postoperative recollapse, a complication that severely limits long-term postoperative functional recovery. Methods This study retrospectively analyzed single-segment OVCF patients who underwent bilateral PKP at our academic center from January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2019. Comparing the plain films of patients within 3 days after surgery and at the final follow-up, we classified patients with more than 10% loss of sagittal anterior height as the recollapse group. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the risk factors affecting recollapse after PKP. Based on the logistic regression results, we constructed one support vector machine (SVM) classifier to predict recollapse using machine learning (ML) algorithm. The predictive performance of this prediction model was validated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, 10-fold cross validation, and confusion matrix. Results Among the 346 consecutive patients (346 vertebral bodies in total), postoperative recollapse was observed in 40 patients (11.56%). The results of the multivariate logistical regression analysis showed that high body mass index (BMI) (Odds ratio [OR]: 2.08, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.58–2.72, p < 0.001), low bone mineral density (BMD) T-scores (OR: 4.27, 95% CI: 1.55–11.75, p = 0.005), presence of intravertebral vacuum cleft (IVC) (OR: 3.10, 95% CI: 1.21–7.99, p = 0.019), separated cement masses (OR: 3.10, 95% CI: 1.21–7.99, p = 0.019), cranial endplate or anterior cortical wall violation (OR: 0.17, 95% CI: 0.04–0.79, p = 0.024), cement-contacted upper endplate alone (OR: 4.39, 95% CI: 1.20–16.08, p = 0.025), and thoracolumbar fracture (OR: 6.17, 95% CI: 1.04–36.71, p = 0.045) were identified as independent risk factors for recollapse after a kyphoplasty surgery. Furthermore, the evaluation indices demonstrated a superior predictive performance of the constructed SVM model, including mean area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.81, maximum AUC of 0.85, accuracy of 0.81, precision of 0.89, and sensitivity of 0.98. Conclusions For patients with OVCFs, the risk factors leading to postoperative recollapse were multidimensional. The predictive model we constructed provided insights into treatment strategies targeting secondary recollapse prevention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was performed to compare the effectiveness and safety of vesselplasty versus vertebroplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic compression fractures with posterior wall rupture. METHODS Patients who underwent treatment of a single osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture with posterior wall rupture from January 2016 to February 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. They were divided into a vesselplasty group (n = 17) and a vertebroplasty group (n = 43). Pain relief, radiographic outcomes, and bone cement leakage were compared between the two groups. RESULTS There were no significant differences in the operation time, postoperative pain relief, vertebral compression recovery, or local Cobb angle improvement between the two groups. However, the overall bone cement leakage rate (29.4% vs. 67.4%) and spinal canal leakage rate (0.0% vs. 30.2%) were significantly lower in the vesselplasty group than vertebroplasty group. CONCLUSIONS Vesselplasty offers similar pain relief and vertebral compression recovery but lower spinal canal leakage compared with vertebroplasty. Vesselplasty is thus a better option than vertebroplasty for patients with osteoporotic compression fractures with posterior wall rupture.

Abstract
Background Due to its unique mechanical characteristics, the incidence of subsequent fracture after vertebral augmentation is higher in thoracolumbar segment, but the causes have not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to comprehensively explore the potential risk factors for subsequent fracture in this region. Methods Patients with osteoporotic vertebral fracture in thoracolumbar segment who received vertebral augmentation from January 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into refracture group and non-refracture group according to the occurrence of refracture. The clinical information, imaging findings (cement distribution, spine sagittal parameters, degree of paraspinal muscle degeneration) and surgery related indicators of the included patients were collected and compared. Results A total of 109 patients were included, 13 patients in refracture group and 96 patients in non-refracture group. Univariate analysis revealed a significantly higher incidence of previous fracture, intravertebral cleft (IVC) and cement leakage, greater fatty infiltration of psoas (FIPS), fatty infiltration of erector spinae plus multifidus (FIES + MF), correction of body angle (BA), BA restoration rate and vertebral height restoration rate in refracture group. Further binary logistic regression analysis demonstrated previous fracture, IVC, FIPS and BA restoration rate were independent risk factors for subsequent fracture. According to ROC curve analysis, the prediction accuracy of BA restoration rate was the highest (area under the curve was 0.794), and the threshold value was 0.350. Conclusions Subsequent fracture might cause by the interplay of multiple risk factors. The previous fracture, IVC, FIPS and BA restoration rate were identified as independent risk factors. When the BA restoration rate exceeded 0.350, refractures were more likely to occur.

Abstract
Background Osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures have become a great social burden due to the aging tendency of population. This study is aimed at comparing the clinical and radiological outcomes of percutaneous kyphoplasty with or without pedicle screw fixation in patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures. Hypothesis. There is a difference in clinical outcomes between percutaneous kyphoplasty with pedicle screw fixation and percutaneous kyphoplasty. Methods This retrospective study included 87 patients who received percutaneous kyphoplasty with or without pedicle screw fixation between October 2015 and October 2017 at Ningbo No.6 Hospital and were followed for 2 years. A total of 40 patients received percutaneous kyphoplasty with pedicle screw fixation (PKPF group), and the other 47 patients had percutaneous kyphoplasty only (PKP group). The outcomes were measured using the visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Cobb angle (CA), and anterior vertebra height rate (AVHr), which were calculated at preoperative admission and each follow-up visit. Complications including postoperative back pain, refracture, and fixation failure were collected from medical records. Results There was no significant difference in baseline characteristics or preoperative data between the two groups (p < 0.05) but significantly better improvements in VAS, ODI, CA, and AVHr at 12- and 24-month follow-up visits in the PKPF group compared with those of the PKP group. 23 (48.9%) patients in the PKP group had complications, whereas only 5 (12.5%) patients in the PKPF group presented complications including 2 postoperative back pain and 1 fixation failure (p = 0.04). Conclusions PKPF obtained longer correction and better improvement in VAS, ODI, and CA in patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures than PKP.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of modified posterior vertebral column resection (PVCR) combined with anterior column restoration in elderly patients presenting with thoracic or thoracolumbar osteoporotic fractures with spinal cord compression and severe pain.
Methods One hundred nine patients with one level thoracolumbar osteoporotic fracture and at least 5 years of follow-up were included. They underwent posterior instrumentation performed with polymethymetachrylate augmented pedicle screws. A modified PVCR (unilateral costotransversectomy+hemilaminectomy) combined with the insertion of an expandable titanium cage for anterior column restoration was undertaken. Patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically.
Results Patients had a mean age of 74.1 and a follow-up duration of 92.3 months. Mean duration of operations, hospital stays, and mean loss of blood were 172.3 minutes, 4.3 days, and 205.4 mL. All of the patients were mobilized immediately after surgery. The mean preoperative local kyphosis angle improved from 39.3° to 4.7° at the last follow-up (p = 0.003). Patients preoperative mean visual analogue score, Japanese Orthopaedic Association, and Oswestry Disability Index scores improved from 7.7/8.6/76.3 to 1.6/26.1/17.4 (p < 0.001 for all), respectively. The average 36-item Short-Form survey physical component summary/mental component summary scores at the last follow-up were 55.1/56.8. A dural tear was detected intraoperatively in 1 patient and repaired immediately.
Conclusion Subtotal PVCR combined with the insertion of an expandable titanium cage was detected as a safe and effective method for osteoporotic vertebrae fractures’ sequelae in the older population involving spinal cord compression by enabling the decompression of the spinal canal and reconstruction of the resected segment, resulting in significant improvement in clinical and radiographic outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intravertebral clefts (IVCs) typically occur in association with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) and can be characterized based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of IVCs with different MRI signals and assess their influence on outcomes of vertebral augmentation. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively recruited patients with OVCFs and associated IVCs who underwent vertebral augmentation. Patients were stratified into two groups based on whether the IVCs were full of liquid or gas, as determined by MRI signals. Patients were also stratified based on whether vertebral augmentation involved percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) or vertebroplasty (PVP). Pre- and postprocedural parameters were compared between groups. RESULTS A total of 194 fractured vertebrae (86 liquid-filled, 108 gas-filled) were examined. Scores for bone cement distribution were significantly higher in the gas group than in the liquid group, indicating broader cement distribution in the gas group. In both groups, intervention significantly improved pain and mobility scores. Among patients with gas-filled IVCs, the incidence of bone cement leakage and recollapse of treated vertebrae were significantly higher after PKP than after PVP. In the liquid group, incidence of bone cement leakage and recollapse of treated vertebrae did not differ significantly between patients who received PKP or PVP. CONCLUSION Vertebral augmentation is effective for treating OVCFs with gas- or liquid-filled IVCs. However, in patients with gas-filled IVCs, PKP may be associated with higher incidence of cement leakage and recollapse of treated vertebrae than PVP. Liquid-filled IVCs may not promote bone cement distribution.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2021; 22:10. [PMID: 33402168 PMCID: PMC7784258 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-020-03901-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2020] [Accepted: 12/21/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Bone cement leakage is a major complication in the treatment of percutaneous vertebroplasty for Kümmell’s disease, and the focus of close attention during the surgery. The purpose of this article was to investigate the clinical outcomes of Kümmell’s disease treated by percutaneous vertebroplasty with or without bone cement leakage. Methods A total of 64 patients with Kümmell’s disease from December 2016 to February 2018 treated by percutaneous vertebroplasty were included in the study. After the treatment, 32 cases were respectively divided into two groups according to X-ray examination of bone cement leakage: leakage group and non-leakage group. Preoperative course, age, sex, bone mineral density, damaged segment, anterior vertebral height, vertebral compression rate, Cobb angle, visual analogue scale and Oswestry dysfunction index were compared between the two groups. After surgery, the amount of bone cement injected, operation time, adjacent vertebral refracture rate, visual analogue scale, Oswestry dysfunction index, the recovery value of vertebral anterior height and the improvement value of Cobb angle were compared between the two groups. Results The course, age and Cobb angle of the leakage group were significantly greater than those of the non-leakage group (P< 0.05, respectively). The height of anterior vertebral margin and bone mineral density in the leakage group were significantly lower than those in the non-leakage group (P< 0.05, respectively). The two groups were followed up for at least 24 months. The amount of bone cement injected was significantly greater in the leakage group than in the non-leakage group (P=0.000). Visual analogue scale and Oswestry dysfunction index of the two groups on the second day after surgery and at the last follow-up were significantly lower than these before surgery (P< 0.05, respectively), but there was no significant difference between the two groups. In the leakage group, the recovery value of the anterior edge height of the injured vertebra and the improvement value of the Cobb angle on the second day after surgery and at the last follow-up were significantly improved compared with the non-leakage group (P< 0.05, respectively). Conclusion Percutaneous vertebroplasty is an effective and minimally invasive treatment for Kümmell’s disease. The leakage group had longer course, older age, more serious kyphotic deformity, vertebral compression and osteoporosis, and higher amount of bone cement injected than these of the non-leakage group. However, there were not significant differences in the rate of adjacent vertebral refractures, visual analogue scale and Oswestry dysfunction index between the two groups. Therefore, the bone cement leakage does not affect the surgical effect.

Abstract
To evaluate the risk factors of cemented vertebral refracture after percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) for patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). We performed a literature search on cemented vertebral refracture after PVA using the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library medical databases. The clinical data, including literature information, basic patient information, observational factors, and interventional factors, were extracted by two authors. The pooled results and related heterogeneity of each factor between the refracture group and the non-refracture group were evaluated using Review Manager software 5.35. A total of 3185 patients from 10 studies were included, with 195 patients in the refracture group and 2990 patients in the non-refracture group. The mean follow-up duration was 18.9 months. According to the meta-analysis, age, low bone marrow density (BMD), intravertebral cleft (IVC), high anterior vertebral height (AVH) restoration/high Cobb angle restoration, and low cement dose were the risk factors of cemented vertebral refracture after PVA. Our results showed that age, low BMD, IVC, high AVH restoration, high Cobb angle restoration, and low cement dose were the risk factors for cemented vertebral refracture after PVA.

Abstract
Background In recent years, percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) has provided a new option for the treatment of Kümmell’s disease (KD). This retrospective study aimed to investigate the differences in clinical characteristics, clinical efficacy, and related complications between two types of bone cement distribution patterns in the PVP treatment of KD. Methods A total of 63 patients with KD from January 2016 to February 2018 who received PVP treatment were examined at least 24 months. According to X-ray distribution modes of bone cement after PVP treatment, they were divided into 2 groups: blocky group (30 cases) and spongy group (33 cases). Clinical features and disease severity preoperatively, and clinical efficacy and related complications postoperatively were statistically compared between the two groups. Results The two groups were followed for at least 24 months. The duration of disease, age, Cobb angle, and vertebral compression rate preoperatively were significantly higher in the blocky group than in the spongy group (P < 0.05, respectively). The height of vertebral anterior margin and BMD were significantly lower in the blocky group than in the spongy group (P < 0.05, respectively). The amount of bone cement injected was significantly greater in the blocky group than in the spongy group (P = 0.000). VAS and ODI of the two groups were significantly reduced at the first day, the first year, and the last follow-up postoperatively (all P = 0.000) and were maintained at the last follow-up. VAS and ODI postoperatively decreased significantly in the spongy group compared with the blocky group (P = 0.000). The correction degrees of kyphosis and vertebral compression postoperatively in the two groups were significantly corrected, but gradually decreased over time (P < 0.05), and these correction degrees were significantly higher in the blocky group than in the spongy group, and the postoperative losses were also more serious. Conclusions The disease was more serious in the blocky group than in the spongy group. The amount of bone cement, correction degrees of postoperative kyphosis and vertebral compression were significantly higher in the blocky group than in the spongy group, but its postoperative losses of the correction degrees of kyphosis and vertebral compression were also more serious. However, for pain relief and functional recovery, the spongy group was superior to the blocky group. Therefore, the spongy distribution pattern should be formed during the injection of bone cement to obtain better therapeutic effect.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the incidence of and risk factors for residual back pain in osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) patients after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) treatment, we performed a retrospective analysis of prospective data. METHODS Patients who underwent bilateral PKP and met this study's inclusion criteria were retrospectively reviewed. Back pain intensity was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) after surgery. Residual back pain was defined as the presence of postoperative moderate-severe pain (average VAS score ≥ 4), and the variables included patient characteristics, baseline symptoms, radiological parameters and surgical factors. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors. RESULTS A total of 809 patients were included, and residual back pain was identified in 63 (7.8%) patients. Of these patients, 52 patients had complete data for further analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that risk factors for back pain included the presence of an intravertebral vacuum cleft (OR 2.93, P = 0.032), posterior fascia oedema (OR 4.11, P = 0.014), facet joint violations (OR 12.19, P < 0.001) and a separated cement distribution (OR 2.23, P = 0.043). CONCLUSION The incidence of postoperative residual back pain was 7.8% among 809 OVCF patients following PKP. The presence of an intravertebral vacuum cleft, posterior fascia oedema, facet joint violations and a separated cement distribution were identified as independent risk factors for residual back pain.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the surgical effects of modified kyphoplasty with controllable balloon dilatation for treatment of thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF). METHODS From April 2013 to October 2017, a total of 53 patients with thoracolumbar OVCF were treated with controllable balloon percutaneous kyphoplasty (C-PKP). Peri-operative parameters including days from injury to operation, operation time, injected cement volume, cement leakage and complications were collected. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Cobb angle before and after operation were applied to evaluate surgical effects. Moreover, a total of 53 cases treated with traditional balloon of percutaneous kyphoplasty were retrospectively analyzed and compared with C-PKP in above parameters. RESULTS C-PKP achieved significant fewer events of cement leakage (type C) than that of traditional PKP (5/53 vs 13/53, p < 0.01). The patients were followed up for 10.8 ± 4.2 months; VAS and Cobb angle of the injured vertebra in both two groups at three days and final follow-up were significantly improved compared with that before surgery (p < 0.05), while there were no significant differences between the two groups regarding the VAS and Cobb angle at corresponding time points (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS C-PKP technology is a safe and efficient way for the treatment of thoracolumbar OVCF, and it can reduce cement leakage.

Posterior Fixation Combined with Vertebroplasty or Vertebral Column Resection for the Treatment of Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures with Intravertebral Cleft Complicated by Neurological Deficits. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:4126818. [PMID: 31915692 PMCID: PMC6931022 DOI: 10.1155/2019/4126818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2019] [Revised: 11/23/2019] [Accepted: 11/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Purpose The aim of the current study was to evaluate the relative benefits of posterior fixation combined with vertebroplasty (PFVP) or vertebral column resection (PVCR) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) with intravertebral cleft (IVC) complicated by neurological deficits. Methods From June 2010 to January 2015, 45 consecutive patients suffering OVCFs with IVC and spinal cord injuries were treated with PFVP or PVCR in our department. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score, anterior vertebral height (AVH), posterior vertebral height (PVH), local kyphotic angle (LKA), and neurologic function were evaluated and compared, and the operative duration, blood loss, and complications were also recorded. Results They all achieved excellent pain relief, vertebral height recovery, and kyphosis correction one month after surgery, and no significant differences existed between the two groups. No significant differences were observed between the 1-month postoperative and final follow-up VAS, AVH, and LKA values in the PVCR group (P > 0.05), while AVH and LKA worsened in the PFVP group at the final follow-up (P < 0.05). Similarly, the initial improvements in VAS scores decreased over time (P < 0.05). Neurologic function improved in both groups, and no significant differences were observed between the 2 groups either preoperatively or postoperatively (P > 0.05). The blood loss and operative duration were significantly lower in the PFVP group than those in the PVCR group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Compared with PVCR, PFVP had equivalent short-term clinical outcomes with less blood loss and operative duration which can be very beneficial for treating elderly patients with extreme comorbidities in this condition. However, based on the long-term efficacy of pain relief, vertebral height maintenance, and deformity correction, PVCR is a more reasonable choice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare clinical outcomes and cement leakage of high-viscosity bone cement versus low-viscosity bone cement vertebroplasty in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures with intravertebral cleft. METHODS The study included 72 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures with intravertebral cleft, who were divided into high-viscosity cement (HVC) (38 cases) and low-viscosity cement (LVC) (34 cases) groups according to the viscosity of bone cement used. Cement leakage, visual analog scale score, Oswestry Disability Index, and kyphotic angle (KA) were evaluated. RESULTS All patients were followed for at least 12 months. Overall cement leakage rate was 18.4% in the HVC group, lower than the rate of 61.8% obtained in the LVC group. A statistically significant difference was found in the overall cement leakage rate between the groups (P < 0.05). Visual analog scale and Oswestry Disability Index scores were significantly improved after percutaneous vertebroplasty without significant differences between the HVC and LVC groups (P > 0.05). The KA of patients from both groups was also significantly corrected immediately after surgery. Although the KA gradually increased in both groups during the follow-up period, there was no statistically significant difference between the HVC and LVC groups in KA during follow-up (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Percutaneous vertebroplasty using HVC to treat osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures with intravertebral cleft significantly reduces cement leakage and improves the safety of the operation. In terms of clinical efficacy and prevention of augmented vertebral recollapse, HVC may not have obvious advantages.
