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.

World Neurosurg 2023; 180:e484-e493. [PMID: 37774786 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2023.09.094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/01/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the risk factors of residual back pain after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 675 patients with OVCF treated with PVP from January 2015 to January 2020. Postoperative back pain intensity was assessed by the VAS score. 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, imaging data and operation-related factors. Risk factors were identified with univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Residual back pain occurred in 46 of the 675 patients included in the study, with an incidence rate of 6.8%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low Pre-BMD (OR = 3.576, P = 0.041), multiple vertebral fractures (OR = 2.795, P = 0.026), posterior fascia injury (OR = 4.083, P = 0.032), cement diffusion volume rate <0.2 (OR = 3.507, P = 0.013), facet joint violation (OR = 11.204, P < 0.001), and depression (OR = 3.562, P = 0.035) were positively correlated with residual back pain after PVP. CONCLUSIONS Low pre-BMD (pre-bone mineral density), multiple vertebral fractures, posterior fascia injury, cement diffusion volume rate <0.2, facet joint violation and depression were the independent risk factors of residual back pain after PVP.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the safety and efficacy of the extra-facet puncture technique applied in unilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. METHODS Demographics (age, gender, body mass index and underlying diseases) were recorded for analyzing. Visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores as well as their corresponding minimal clinically important difference (MCID) were used to evaluate clinical outcomes. The segmental kyphotic angle, the vertebral compression ratio and bone cement distribution pattern were evaluated by the plain radiographs. The facet joint violation (FJV) was defined by the postoperative computed tomography scan. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate relationships between multiple risk factors and residual back pain. RESULTS VAS and ODI scores in both traditional puncture group and extra-facet puncture group were significantly decreased after PVP surgery (p < 0.05). However, no significant difference was observed between the two groups according to VAS and ODI scores. The proportion of patients achieving MCID of VAS and ODI scores was higher in extra-facet puncture group as compared to traditional puncture group within a month (p < 0.05). Finally, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that FJV (odds ratio 16.38, p < 0.001) and unilateral bone cement distribution (OR 5.576, p = 0.020) were significant predictors of residual back pain after PVP surgery. CONCLUSIONS Extra-facet puncture percutaneous vertebroplasty can decrease the risk of FJV and it also has the advantage of more satisfied bone cement distribution.

Abstract
PURPOSE Residual back pain (RBP) after percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) still exists considerable, and it even affects daily life due to moderate or severe back pain. A variety of risk factors have been previously identified for developing residual back pain. However, there are conflicting reports regarding the association between sarcopenia and residual back pain. As such, the aim of this study was to investigate whether paraspinal muscle fatty degeneration is a predictor of residual back pain. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with single-segment OVCF who underwent PVA from January 2016 to January 2022. Patients were divided into RBP group (86 patients) and control group (790 patients) according to whether the visual analog scale (VAS) score ≥ 4. The clinical and radiological data were analyzed. Paraspinal musculature fatty degeneration was measured using the Goutallier classification system (GCS) at the L4 - 5 intervertebral disc level. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors. RESULTS The results of multivariate logistical regression analysis revealed that posterior fascia injury (odds ratio (OR) = 5.23; 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.12-5.50; P < 0.001), as regards paraspinal muscle fatty degeneration, including Goutallier grading (OR = 12.23; 95% CI 7.81-23.41; P < 0.001), fCSA (OR = 3.06; 95% CI 1.63-6.84; P = 0.002), fCSA/CSA (%) (OR = 14.38; 95% CI 8.80-26.29; P < 0.001), and facet joint violation (OR = 8.54; 95% CI 6.35-15.71; P < 0.001) were identified as independent risk factors for RBP. CONCLUSIONS Posterior fascia injury, paraspinal muscle fatty degeneration, and facet joint violation were identified as independent risk factors for RBP, with paraspinal muscle fatty degeneration playing an important role.

A nomogram for predicting residual low back pain after percutaneous kyphoplasty in osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Osteoporos Int 2023; 34:749-762. [PMID: 36738335 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-023-06681-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2022] [Accepted: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED To establish a risk prediction model for residual low back pain after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. We used retrospective data for model construction and evaluated the model using internal validation and temporal external validation and finally concluded that the model had good predictive performance. INTRODUCTION The cause of residual low back pain in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) after PKP remains highly controversial, and our goal was to investigate the most likely cause and to develop a novel nomogram for the prediction of residual low back pain and to evaluate the predictive performance of the model. METHODS The clinical data of 281 patients with OVCFs who underwent PKP at our hospital from July 2019 to July 2020 were reviewed. The optimal logistic regression model was determined by lasso regression for multivariate analysis, thus constructing a nomogram. Bootstrap was used to perfomance the internal validation; receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to assess the predictive performance and clinical utility of the model, respectively. Temporal external validation of the model was also performed using retrospective data from 126 patients who underwent PKP at our hospital from January 2021 to October 2021. RESULTS Lasso regression cross-validation showed that the variables with non-zero coefficients were the number of surgical vertebrae, preoperative bone mineral density (pre-BMD), smoking history, thoracolumbar fascia injury (TLFI), intraoperative facet joint injury (FJI), and postoperative incomplete cementing of the fracture line (ICFL). The above factors were included in the multivariate analysis and showed that the pre-BMD, smoking history, TLFI, FJI, and ICFL were independent risk factors for residual low back pain (P < 0.05). The ROC and calibration curve of the original model and temporal external validation indicated a good predictive power of the model. The DCA curve suggested that the model has good clinical practicability. CONCLUSION The risk prediction model has good predictive performance and clinical practicability, which can provide a certain basis for clinical decision-making in patients with OVCFs.

Abstract
Objective Patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) often suffer from residual low back pain (LBP) after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for postoperative residual LBP and to develop a nomogram to predict the occurrence of residual LBP. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 236 patients who underwent PKP for OVFs and had a minimum follow-up of 12 months. The mean age was 72.1 ± 6.3, 74.3% were female and 25.7% were male. Patients with LBP VAS scores ≥ 3.5 at the 12th month postoperatively were considered to have residual LBP. Risk factors for residual LBP were identified by univariate and multifactorial logistic regression analysis. Then, a predictive nomogram was constructed and validated using the bootstrap method. The discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility of the nomogram were assessed using a receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), a calibration curve, and a decision curve analysis (DCA). Results univariate and multifactorial logistic regression analysis identified depression (P = 0.02), intravertebral vacuum cleft (P = 0.01), no anti-osteoporosis treatment (P < 0.001), cement volume <3 ml (P = 0.02), and cement distrubution (P = 0.01) as independent risk factors for residual LBP. The area under the ROC was 0.83 (0.74-0.93) and further validated by bootstrap method was 0.83 (0.73-0.92). The calibration curve illustrated the consistency between the predicted probability and the observed results. DCA showed that nomogram exhibits clinical utility and net benefit when the threshold probability is between 6% and 73%. Conclusions Our study found that depression, intravertebral vacuum cleft, no anti-osteoporosis treatment, cement volume <3 ml and cement distribution represent independent risk factors for residual LBP. The nomogram containing the above five predictors can accurately predict the risk of residual LBP after surgery.

Abstract
Background We studied the characteristics and regularity of appropriate insertion points for percutaneous pedicle screw placement in the lumbar spine using C-arm X-ray fluoroscopy. The purpose of this study was to improve the accuracy of percutaneous pedicle screw placement and reduce the incidence of superior-level facet joint violation. Methods Six normal spinal specimens were included. Three different methods for placing percutaneous pedicle screws in the lumbar spine were applied, including the Roy-Camille method, Magerl method and Weinstein method. The relationships among the insertion point, pedicle projection and proximal facet joint on C-arm X-ray films were studied. The projection morphology of the vertebral pedicle in different segments of the lumbar spine was observed. The relationship between the outer edge of the pedicle projection and the outer edge of the cranial articular process was also studied. The distance between the insertion point and the facet joint (M1), the distance between the insertion point and outer edge of the cranial articular process (M2), and the distance between the insertion point and the projection center of the pedicle (M) were measured. Results In this study, we found that the projection shape of the vertebral pedicle differed across segments of the lumbar spine: the shape for L1-L3 was oval, and that for L4-L5 was round. The radiographic study showed that the outer edge of the cranial articular process was located on the lateral side of the outer edge of the pedicle projection and did not overlap with the pedicle projection. M for the Weinstein group was larger than that for the Roy-Camille group (P < 0.05). M1 for the Weinstein group was larger than that for the Roy-Camille and Magerl groups (P < 0.05). M2 for the Roy-Camille group was negative, M2 for the Magerl group was 0, and M2 for the Weinstein group was positive. Conclusion Under C-arm X-ray fluoroscopy, we were able to accurately identify the characteristics and regularity of the appropriate insertion point for percutaneous pedicle screw placement in the lumbar spine, which was important for improving the accuracy of percutaneous pedicle screw placement and reducing the incidence of superior-level facet joint violation.

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.
