Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND AIM Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) of the spine prevents the collapse of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF) with lower complication and bleeding rates than open surgery. However, the possibility of hidden blood loss (HBL) has been recently described, referring to the loss of blood diffused into tissues and lost through hemolysis. This study aimed to estimate the postoperative impact of HBL in patients undergoing MIS for OVF. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study of a series of patients who had MIS for OVF. A descriptive analysis of recorded variables was performed, and total blood volume, total bleeding, HBL, and hemoglobine drop were calculated. This was followed by a comparative analysis between HBL (<500ml vs. ≥500ml) and the variables of hospital stay and postoperative evolution. Binary logistic regression models were performed to rule out confounding factors. RESULTS A total of 40 patients were included, 8 men and 32 women, with a mean age of 76.6 years. The mean HBL was 682.5ml. An HBL greater than 500ml is found to be an independent risk factor for torpid postoperative evolution (P=0.035), while it does not predict a longer hospital stay (P=0.116). In addition, a higher HBL was observed in surgeries of greater technical complexity and longer surgical time. CONCLUSIONS Although MIS techniques have shown less intraoperative bleeding than open surgery, HBL should be diagnosed because it is associated with a torpid evolution. The use of a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm may help minimize its impact.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Several systematic reviews and meta-analyses have confirmed that percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty showed safety and beneficial efficacy in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Whereas, there is wide variation among results, which are not conducive to the evaluation and use of clinicians. This study will investigate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, aiming to provide a more reliable evidence base for clinical practice in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will retrieve the relevant articles using the five databases(PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Web of Science) from inception to March 2023 for systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the overall safety and efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Three reviewers will screen citation titles, abstracts and evaluate the full text of each relevant citation based on prespecified eligibility criteria. Any discrepancies in decisions between reviewers will be resolved through discussion. We will assess the methodological quality of the included studies according to A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews 2 checklist. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This umbrella review will inform clinical and policy decisions regarding the benefits and harms of percutaneous vertebroplasty versus percutaneous kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Neither primary data nor individual patient information will be collected, thus ethics approval is not required. Findings will be reported through a peer-reviewed publication, conference presentations and the popular press. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42021268141.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to unidimensionally measure procedural pain at each percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) stage and evaluate the effectiveness of paravertebral nerve block (PVNB) in reducing procedural pain. METHODS A retrospective study of prospectively collected data was conducted on 66 patients who underwent PVP for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. The patients were divided into 2 groups: group A (fluoroscopic-guided PVNB; 5 cm 3 of 0.75% ropivacaine on each side) and group B (local anesthesia). To investigate procedural pain associated with PVP, the visual analog scale score was assessed at each surgical stage: before the incision (stage 1), transpedicular approach (stage 2), and polymethylmethacrylate cement injection (stage 3). After the procedure, patients were asked about their surgical experience and satisfaction using the Iowa Satisfaction with Anesthesia Scale. Periprocedural complications were also recorded. RESULTS A total of 63 patients (78.65 y of age) were finally enrolled: 30 from group A and 33 from group B. In both groups, a significant ≥2-point increase in procedural pain was observed during PVP compared with that during stage 1 ( P < 0.001). In stages 2 and 3, the pain intensity was significantly lower in group A ( P < 0.001). Upon discharge, the visual analog scale score improved in all groups; however, the Iowa Satisfaction with Anesthesia Scale score was significantly higher in group A ( P < 0.001). There was no difference in periprocedural complications between the two groups ( P = 0.743). CONCLUSION PVP causes significant procedural pain, and PVNB is a potentially effective modality for enhancing patient satisfaction and reducing procedural pain.

Abstract
The efficacy of Mesh optimized versus standard percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Grid optimization (102 cases; 38 men, 64 women aged 67.3 ± 8.5) and traditional PVP groups (94 cases) were identified from 196 PVP patients treated from May 2016 to 2019. The optimal puncture site and angle forced bone cement into both groups before surgery. The main indexes were operation time, X-ray fluoroscopy times, bone cement injection volume, leakage, VAS, and injured vertebrae height. Preoperative general data were equivalent between groups (P > 0.05). All patients survived surgery without spinal cord injury, incision infection, pulmonary embolism, or death. The mesh optimization group had improved operation time (34.8 ± 6.5 min), fluoroscopy times (29.5 ± 5.5), bone cement injection volume (5.3 ± 2.1 ml), and bone cement permeability greater (3.9 percent; 4/98) than the standard PVP group (P < 0.05). Similarly, the grid optimization group had superior VAS scores (1.1 ± 0.6; 1.0 ± 0.3; and 0.9 ± 0.2) than the standard PVP group at 3 days, 3 months, and the last follow-up visit (P < 0.05). On day three after surgery, both had similar heights of injured vertebra's anterior and middle edges (P > 0.05). However, in the mesh optimization group, measurements improved to 1.8 ± 0.4 mm and (1.8 ± 0.3) mm by month three and to 1.7 ± 0.3 mm at last follow-up (P < 0.05). Mesh-optimized PVP with a mesh locator treats osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures more safely and effectively than regular PVP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (VCF) is the third most frequent fragility fracture in the world. Conservative treatment, vertebroplasty, and kyphoplasty are all recognized therapies. However, diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations must be more consistent when comparing clinical guidelines. This study aims to compare the efficacy of vertebral augmentation therapy and conservative management for treating VCFs, the risk of subsequent complications, and the length of hospital stay. METHOD All patients over 50 years old with a diagnosis of thoracic or lumbar VCF without underlying oncological process, treated conservatively or surgically, and consecutively attended at our department from January 2017 to June 2021 were retrospectively selected for analysis. Patients who missed follow-up or died during the first three months were excluded. RESULTS A total of 573 cases were selected for analysis. Most patients were treated conservatively (85.3%). Both groups were homogenous regarding epidemiological and clinical features. The median time elapsed to achieve pain relief was significantly lower in the surgical cohort (4.5 vs. 10 weeks, p < 0.001), and the proportion of patients reporting pain at the first outpatient visit was also significantly lower with a vertebral augmentation procedure (p = 0.004). The new fracture rate and the adjacent level rate did not differ significantly when comparing both treatments, whereas the progression of the diagnosed fracture was more frequent in the conservative group (4.8% vs. 29.7%; p < 0.001). The median hospital stay was significantly lower in the conservative group (3 vs. 10 days; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Surgical treatment (vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty) of VCFs was associated with sooner pain relief without an increased risk of new or adjacent fractures. Moreover, the progression of treated fractures was significantly lower in the surgical cohort. The only unfavorable aspect was the more extended hospital stay compared with the conservative treatment group.

Abstract
Vertebroplasty has emerged over the last 30 years as a common treatment for painful osteoporotic vertebral fractures. Patient selection and the time at which vertebroplasty is offered to the patient varies between centres and regions. Vertebroplasty has been studied in comparison to placebo intervention in five blinded trials. One such trial showed more benefit from vertebroplasty than placebo when the procedure was mostly performed within 3 weeks of fracture onset. Others showed no additional benefit from vertebroplasty compared to placebo when it was performed later in the natural history of the fracture. In this review, we examine data from blinded and open label randomised studies of vertebroplasty for evidence relating specifically to the use of early vertebroplasty for patients with severely painful acute osteoporotic fractures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review on the effect of robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (R-MIS) on the clinical outcomes and complications of patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). METHODS The researchers searched the papers published on PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, Ovid MEDLINE, Wiley Online Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese biomedical literature service system (SinoMed), and China Medical Association Data. The standardized mean difference (SMD) or mean difference (MD), relative risk (RR), and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Besides, the data was merged through the random-effect model or common-effect model. A meta-regression mixed-effects single-factor model was utilized to analyze the sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS Twelve studies were included, involving 1042 OVCFs cases. The prognosis of patients treated with R-MIS was significantly improved, such as Oswestry disability index (ODI) score (MD = -0.65, P = 0.0171), Cobb's angles (MD = -1.03, P = 0.0027), X-ray fluoroscopy frequency (SMD = -2.41, P < 0.0001), Length of hospital stay (MD = -0.33, P = 0.0002), and Cement leakage (RR = 0.37, P < 0.0001). However, no obvious improvement was found in the results of Visual analog scale (VAS) score (MD = -0.16, P = 0.1555), Volume of bone cement (MD = 0.22, P = 0.8339), and Operation time (MD = -3.20, P = 0.3411) after being treated by R-MIS. The meta-regression analysis demonstrated that R-MIS presented no significant impact on the covariates of VAS and Operation time. CONCLUSION R-MIS can significantly reduce the patients' ODI, Cobb's angles, X-ray fluoroscopy frequency, and Cement leakage ratio, and shorten the Length of hospital stay. Therefore, R-MIS may be an effective method to promote the patients' functional recovery, correct spinal deformity, reduce the X-ray fluoroscopy frequency, shorten the Length of hospital stay, and reduce the complications of OVCFs bone Cement leakage.

Abstract
[Purpose] This study investigated the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on trunk extension muscle strength, walking ability, and the Japanese Orthopedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire items of gait disturbance in one case of a subacute osteoporotic vertebral fracture. [Participant and Methods] An 88-year-old female with the first and third lumbar vertebral fractures underwent standard physical therapy (A1 and A2 phases) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation to the sclerotome region of the fractured vertebra (B1 and B2 phases). Assessments were performed before the A1 phase and the day after each phase. Assessment items included the Visual Analog Scale scores for pain during rest, getting up, standing up, and walking; isometric trunk extension muscle strength; walking ability (10-meter walking, continuous walking distance); and the Japanese Orthopedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire items. [Results] Even though the pain intensity did not change, isometric trunk extension muscle strength, continuous walking distance, and the Japanese Orthopedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire items of gait disturbance were improved in phase B compared to phase A. [Conclusion] Standard physical therapy and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation to the sclerotome area may improve trunk extension muscle strength, walking ability, and the Japanese Orthopedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire items of gait disturbance in patients with subacute osteoporotic vertebral fractures.

Abstract
Objectives To analyze the difference in union and clinical outcomes between teriparatide (T) and teriparatide with vertebroplasty (V) treatment modalities in osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). Methods Patients were divided into two groups (T and V: 87 and 92 patients with 105 fractures each). Radiological features (fracture type/grade, presence of fracture gap/intravertebral vacuum cleft (IVVC)/posterior vertebral wall fracture, change in compression rate (CR)/kyphotic angle (CA), and fusion status) were assessed with 3D-CT at 3 and 6 months. The outcome was divided into success or failure based on visual analog scale (<3), absence of percussion tenderness on the spinous process, and pain during motion. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify risk factors for nonunion and failed outcomes in each group. Results The V group showed more favorable results than the T group at 3 months (CR>10%, 58% vs. 17%; CA>5°, 36% vs. 16%; union, 66% vs. 91%; successful outcome, 77% vs. 94%). At 6 months, no significant change was detected in CR and CA. A significant difference remained in union (89% vs. 100%) and successful outcomes (79% vs. 100%). The V group with age (>75 years) and initial CR (>40%) had more benefits than the T group in the subgroup analysis. In multivariate analysis for the T group, nonunion risk factors were hypertension (P = .0054) and fracture gap (P = .0075). IVVC (P = .047) was the sole risk factor for failure. Conclusions Teriparatide with subsequent vertebroplasty can be selected as the first-line treatment with better sequelae and outcomes in acute osteoporotic compression fractures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to compare the clinical efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral asymmetric compression fracture (OVACF). METHODS This study retrospectively reviewed the patients who were diagnosed with OVACF between September 2015 and July 2019. Forty-one patients received PVP surgery (group A), and 44 patients received PKP surgery (group B). The visual analog scale, Oswestry Disability Index, scoliosis angle (SA), height of long side, height of short side (HS), and lateral height difference (LHD) before operation and 3 days and 1 year after operation were compared between both groups. The operation time, fluoroscopic time, hospital stay, cement volume, and complications were also compared between both groups. RESULTS The visual analog scale and Oswestry Disability Index differed significantly between the groups 1 year after operation (P < 0.05). Compared with the preoperative results, there were significant differences in SA, height of long side, HS, and LHD 3 days and 1 year after operation (P < 0.05). Compared with group A, group B showed significantly better in SA, HS, and LHD in group B 3 days and 1 year after operation (P < 0.05). More patients in group A suffered cement leakage and scoliosis than group B after operation (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In our study, PVP and PKP are both effective in the treatment of OVACF, but PKP surgery had better long-term clinical efficacy.

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2022; 142:2435-2443. [PMID: 33713186 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-021-03858-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2020] [Accepted: 03/06/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION To investigate the clinical effectiveness of combination treatment of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and zoledronic acid (ZOL) in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched studies investigating the PKP combined with ZOL in the treatment of OVCF. We used a fixed-effects or random-effects model to analyze the bone mineral density (BMD), visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), bone markers (N-MID, β-CTX, and P1NP) and adverse events, expressed as weight mean difference (WMD) and risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI). RESULTS We identified 5 cohort studies with a total of 440 patients. Compared with PKP alone, the combination treatment of PKP and ZOL significantly reduced the VAS score at 6 months (WMD = - 0.78, 95% CI - 1.42, - 0.14; P = 0.018), and 12 months (WMD = - 0.98, 95% CI - 1.46, - 0.51; P < 0.001). Moreover, the combination treatment also improved the BMD at 6 (WMD = 0.06, 95% CI 0.01, 0.11, P = 0.016) and 12 months (WMD = 0.20, 95% CI 0.03, 0.36, P = 0.018) after treatment. The ODI score in the combination group was significantly lower than in PKP group at 6, 12 and 24 months after treatment (at 6 months: WMD = - 9.25, 95% CI - 13.62, - 4.87 P < 0.001; at 12 months: WMD = - 9.21, 95% CI - 11.91, - 6.50, P < 0.001; at 24 months: WMD = - 7.26, 95% CI - 11.39, - 3.14, P = 0.001). The N-MID and P1NP values were found to be significantly lower in the combination group than the PKP group, but the β-CTX value was similar between the two groups. There was no significant difference in incidence of adverse events between the two groups, but more adjacent vertebral fractures and bone cement leakage occurred in PKP alone group. CONCLUSION In patients with OVCF, combination treatment of PKP and ZOL showed more effective than PKP alone in improving BMD and bone marker levels, relieving pain, as well as reducing the risk of new fractures. More large-scale RCTs are needed to verify our findings.

J Pain Res 2022; 15:2327-2336. [PMID: 35992249 PMCID: PMC9386056 DOI: 10.2147/jpr.s368493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 07/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose This retrospective study aimed to verify whether the use of a balloon in balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) could offer a higher degree of vertebral height restoration and deformity correction than percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) after adjustment for preoperative dynamic fracture mobility. We expect that this research will help surgeons to determine the optimum operation choice (PVP or BKP) for treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). Patients and Methods We evaluated retrospectively 262 patients who were treated by PVP or BKP for acute, single-level OVCF at our institution from July 2015 to July 2019. According to the presence or absence of dynamic fracture mobility, the patients were divided into two groups: mobile group and fixed group. We compared the changes in the vertebral height and kyphotic angle for PVP and BKP, respectively, within each group. Results In the mobile group, the anterior vertebral height restoration (BKP group, 8.73±5.27%; PVP group, 2.96±1.59%), middle vertebral height restoration (BKP group, 7.58±5.18%; PVP group, 2.74±1.24%) and kyphotic angle correction (BKP group, 4.41±4.46°; PVP group, 1.38±1.60°) due to percutaneous vertebral augmentation technique itself were more obvious in BKP group compared with PVP group (P < 0.05). The BKP group has lower incidence of bone cement leakage (BKP group, 10.17%; PVP group, 25.53%, P < 0.05). In the fixed group, differences from comparison of changes were not statistically significant between PVP and BKP (P > 0.05). Conclusion The use of a balloon in BKP could offer greater kyphosis correction, higher vertebral body height restoration, and lower cement leakage rate than PVP if a fractured vertebral body existed dynamic mobility. However, all these advantages of BKP over PVP are not obvious and could be overrated for a fixed fracture exhibited no mobility. BKP is recommended for a fractured vertebral body with dynamic mobility. PVP is suggested for a fixed fractured vertebral body with no mobility as it produces similar capability of vertebral height restoration, kyphosis correction, and cement leakage as BKP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the effects of transitional care (TC) programs on the health outcomes of discharged older patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). METHODS A total of 160 older patients were recruited from two campuses of a public teaching hospital in China. Patients were grouped according to the campus to which they were admitted. The TC programs commenced one day before discharge and lasted 6 months after discharge. Repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to analyse the effects of the TC programs. RESULTS The TC programs improved the discharge of older patients with OVCF in their activities of daily living (ADLs), pain levels and social support, and decreased fracture recurrence rates. CONCLUSIONS This study provides evidence of concurrent clinical improvements and health outcomes in discharged older patients with OVCFs from the effects of TC programs based on social support theory.

Abstract
Objective The study aimed to investigate the effect of the type of bone cement distribution on clinical outcomes following percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) in the elderly. Methods Retrospective analysis of 160 patients diagnosed with OVCF who underwent PVP treatment from March 2018 to December 2020. Based on the kind of postoperative bone cement distribution, bone cement was classified as types I, II, III, IV, and V. Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Cobb angle, anterior vertebral height ratio, refracture rate of injured vertebrae, and incidence of adjacent vertebral fractures were compared for the five types before and after three days, and one year of operation. Results VAS and ODI at three days and one year postoperative were significantly lower than those preoperative (P < 0.05) for all five distribution types. VAS and ODI for types I, II, and III were lower at one year postoperatively than for types IV and V (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in Cobb angle and anterior vertebral body height ratio between preoperative and three days postoperative groups (P < 0.05); however, there were significant differences between three days and one-year postoperative and preoperative groups (P < 0.05). Following one year of surgery, the Cobb angle and the anterior vertebral height ratio of types IV and V were significantly different from those of types I, II, and III (P < 0.05), and there was a statistically significant difference between types IV and V (P < 0.05). In terms of the incidence of injured vertebral refractures and adjacent vertebral fractures, the evenly distributed types I, II, and III were significantly lower than the unevenly distributed types IV and V, and the incidence of type V was higher (P < 0.05). Conclusions The clinical efficacy of cement distribution following PVP of types I, II, and III is better than that of types IV and V, which can better relieve pain with long-lasting efficacy and minimize the occurrence of refractures of injured vertebrae and adjacent vertebral body fractures.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical application of bone filling mesh container vertebroplasty in osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). Methods Patients with OVCF from October 2018 to April 2020 were selected. Patients in the control and study groups underwent percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and bone filling mesh container vertebroplasty, respectively. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA), visual analog scale (VAS) scores before and after surgery, and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. Results The operation time and fluoroscopy time of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the injection volume of bone cement between the study group and the control group (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in Cobb angle between the two groups. Three months after the operation, the height of the anterior edge increased and the Cobb angle decreased in the two groups (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the height of the anterior edge and the Cobb angle between the two groups (P > 0.05). The JOA scores increased, while the ODI and VAS scores decreased in both groups after surgery (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the total effective rate between the study group (96.15%) and the control group (92.31%) (P > 0.05). The incidence of complications in the study group (3.85%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (15.38%) (P < 0.05). Conclusions For the treatment of OVCFs, bone filling mesh container vertebroplasty is comparable to PKP in terms of functional recovery, but it can safely reduce operative time, fluoroscopy time, and complication rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Consensus regarding the optimal amount of bone cement and vertebral height in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) is lacking. Our purpose was to explore the optimal amount of bone cement and vertebral height in OVCF after percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA). METHODS A three-dimensional finite element model of the L1-L3 segments was constructed from CT scans of aging osteoporosis patients. Four different postoperative vertebral height models were simulated according to Genant semiquantitative grades 0, 1, 2, and 3. The volume of bone cement filling ranged from 3 ml to 6 ml. These models evaluated the von Mises stress of injured vertebral bodies, adjacent vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs under flexion, extension, left flexion, and right flexion after PVA. RESULTS When the bone cement content was held constant, as the height of the vertebral body decreased, the stress of the L2 vertebral body decreased during left flexion and right flexion, but the stress of the L2 vertebral body increased and decreased during flexion and extension. As the height of the vertebral body decreased, the stress of the L1-L2 intervertebral disc increased. There was no significant change in the stress of other adjacent vertebrae or intervertebral discs. When the Genant grade was 0, 1, or 2 (3 ml and 4 ml), the stress of the overall vertebral body was closest to normal. CONCLUSIONS When the height of the vertebral body is restored to the same height, a bone cement filling volume of 3 ml to 6 ml is suitable and will not produce a significant change in the stress of the vertebral body or adjacent vertebral body. As vertebral body height was lost, it may promote the degeneration of the intervertebral disc above the injury vertebrae after PVA. It is appropriate for the height of the vertebral body to return to Genant grade 0 or Genant grade 1 after surgery. When the height of the vertebral body has Genant grade 2 status, it was best to use 3 ml to 4 ml of bone cement filling. Therefore, when treating OVCFs, clinicians do not need to pursue complete reduction of the vertebral body. It is also important to verify the biomechanics results in clinical studies.

Pron G, Hwang M, Smith R, Cheung A, Murphy K. Cost-effectiveness studies of vertebral augmentation for osteoporotic vertebral fractures: a systematic review. Spine J 2022; 22:1356-1371. [PMID: 35257838 DOI: 10.1016/j.spinee.2022.02.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2021] [Revised: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF) dramatically increase with age and are serious life altering adverse events for seniors resulting in increased rates of institutionalization, morbidity and mortality. Given the expanding population of the elderly and increasing prevalence of OVFs, cost-effective treatment strategies need to be considered. Percutaneous vertebral augmentation (VA) procedures such as vertebroplasty (VP) or balloon kyphoplasty (BK) are increasingly employed to treat painful vertebral fractures not responding to conservative management (CM) of bedrest and analgesia. Both VA procedures have been shown to be effective treatments for OVFs in multiple systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials. In this systematic review, analytical strategies, designs and results were compared for health economic studies evaluating cost-effectiveness of VA procedures, VP or BK for OVFs. Furthermore, assessments of quality (risk of bias) were conducted for the systematic review and the individual studies with peer-reviewed checklists recommended for cost-effectiveness studies. PURPOSE To provide an up-to-date systematic review of peer-reviewed studies evaluating cost-effectiveness of VA procedures, VP or KP for OVFs to support treatment and health care funding decisions. STUDY DESIGN This study is a systematic literature review and structured narrative synthesis. STUDY SAMPLE Peer reviewed health economic studies reporting cost-effectiveness for VA procedures, VP or BK for OVFs OUTCOME MEASURES: The following information extracted from the studies included: report country and year, study design, comparators, population, perspective, health valuations, costing sources and cost-effectiveness measures. For economic studies involving modeling, information was also extracted for model type, time horizon, key model drivers, and handling of uncertainty. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER), the ratio of differences between comparator treatment groups in costs and health benefits, was considered the main cost-effectiveness measure. METHODS A systematic review was conducted of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, ECONLIT, Cochrane Library and DARE databases up to the review date May 2021. Studies were reviewed for those reporting cost-effectiveness analyses on VA procedures including VP or BK for OVFs. Studies including only costs, abstracts, editorials, methodologies and reviews were not included. The selection of articles was reported in line with PRISMA guidance. A descriptive framework was developed to classify types of cost-effectiveness studies based on methodological differences and a structured narrative synthesis was used to summarize studies. Quality assessments were made with British Medical Journal checklist for individual cost-effectiveness studies and the CiCERO checklist for systematic reviews of cost-effectiveness studies. RESULTS In this systematic review, 520 references were identified through database searching and 501 were excluded as ineligible by titles and abstract based on prior eligibility criteria. From full-text reviews of 19 reports, ten were identified as eligible for the systematic review evaluating cost-effectiveness of VA procedures for OVFs. All references were published between 2008 and 2020. The ten cost-effectiveness studies, three for VP, three for BK and four for both VP and BK, all involved CM for OVFs as a treatment comparator. The studies involved different methods of economic analysis, modeling assumptions, cost and health valuations conducted in different health care setting over different time periods. A framework for the review outlines key features of cost-effectiveness study designs consisting of unmatched, matched, or randomized controls involving cost-effectiveness or cost-utility) analyses. Both VP and BK were cost-effective alternatives to CM for OVFs with earlier health gains and significantly shorter hospital stays. Cost-effectiveness estimates, ICERs, remained relatively stable and within willingness-to-pay thresholds under a range of sensitivity analyses. Comparisons between VP and BK were variable depending on modeling assumptions, but generally the procedures had similar health benefit gains with VP having lower acute procedural costs. CONCLUSIONS Both VP and BK, have been shown to be cost-effective alternatives to CM for osteoporotic vertebral fractures in diverse cost-effectiveness studies conducted in multiple health care settings. Trial-based cost-utility contributed the strongest evidence supporting cost-effectiveness determination for VP and BK for OVFs.

Abstract
Background Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP), and bone-filling mesh containers(BFC) are three viable minimally invasive techniques that have been used to treat Kümmell’s disease(KD). However, there is still debate as to which is safer and more effective. This study summarized the pros and cons of the three techniques in the treatment of KD through network meta-analysis(NMA). Methods All eligible published clinical control studies comparing PVP, PKP, and BFC for KD up to December 2021 were collected by online search of Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang Database, and Chinese biomedical literature database. Data were extracted after screening, and Stata 16.0 software was used to perform the network meta-analysis. Results Four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 16 retrospective case-control studies (CCTs) with a total of 1114 patients were included. The NMA results showed no statistical difference between the 3 procedures in terms of improving patients’ clinical symptoms. PKP was most likely to be the most effective in correcting kyphosis, while BFC was likely to be the most effective in managing the occurrence of cement leakage. No statistical differences were found in the incidence of new vertebral fractures in adjacent segments. Conclusions Ranking analysis showed that BFC has the highest likelihood of being the optimal procedure for the treatment of KD, based on a combined assessment of effectiveness in improving patients’ symptoms and safety in the occurrence of adverse events.

Three-Dimensional Reconstruction of a CT Image under Deep Learning Algorithm to Evaluate the Application of Percutaneous Kyphoplasty in Osteoporotic Thoracolumbar Compression Fractures. CONTRAST MEDIA & MOLECULAR IMAGING 2022; 2022:9107021. [PMID: 35919502 PMCID: PMC9290755 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9107021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Revised: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 04/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
In order to investigate the therapeutic evaluation of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for
the treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures by three-dimensional
(3D) reconstruction of computed tomography (CT) based on the deep learning V-Net network,
the traditional V-Net was optimized first and a new and improved V-Net was proposed. The
introduced U-Net, V-Net, and convolutional neural network (CNN) were compared in this
study. Then, 106 patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures were
enrolled, and 128 centrums were divided into the test group with 53 cases of PKP and the
control group with 53 cases of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) according to different
surgical protocols. All patients underwent CT scan based on the improved V-Net, and data
of centrum measurement indicators, pain score, and therapeutic evaluation results of the
modified Macnab were collected. The Dice coefficient of the improved V-Net was observably
higher than that of U-Net, V-Net, and CNN, while the Hausdorff distance was lower than
that of U-Net, V-Net, and CNN (P < 0.05). The anterior
height, central height, and posterior height of the centrum were significantly higher than
those in the control group after operation (3, 5, and 7 days), while the Cobb angle
of vertebral kyphosis was significantly lower than that in the control group
(P < 0.05). The score of visual analog scale (VAS)
and analgesic use score of patients in the test group were markedly lower than those in
the control group (3, 5, and 7 days after operation),
P < 0.05. Besides, the excellent and good rate of the
test group was remarkably higher than that of the control group,
P < 0.05. Hence, the improved V-Net had better quality
of segmentation and reconstruction than the traditional deep learning network. Compared
with PVP, PKP was helpful in restoring the height of the centrum in patients with
osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures and correct kyphosis, with better
analgesic effect safety.

This research was developed to accurately evaluate the unstable fractures of thoracolumbar before and after surgery and discuss the treatment timing and methods. Three-dimensional (3D) finite element method was adopted to construct the T12-L5 segment model of human body. The efficiency of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), two commonly used internal fixation procedures, was retrospectively compared. A total of 150 patients with chest fracture who received PKP or PVP surgery in our hospital, and 104 patients with the same symptoms who received conservative treatment were collected and randomly rolled into PVP group (75 cases), PKP group (75 cases), and control group (104 cases). Visual analog scale (VAS) score and Oswestry disability index (ODI) of patients were collected before and after surgery and 2, 12, and 24 months after surgery. Then, the anterior and central height of the patient's cone and the kyphosis angle were calculated by X-ray. Lumbar minimally invasive fusion system and lumbar pedicle screw rod system were established by computer-aided design (CAD), and the biomechanical characteristics were analyzed. The results showed that there was no substantial difference in VAS score and ODI score between PKP and PVP (P > 0.05), but they were higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The anterior edge and middle height of vertebra in the two groups were higher than those in control group (P < 0.05), and the increase in PKP group was more substantial (P < 0.05). The kyphosis of the two groups was smaller than that of the control group (P < 0.05), and the decrease of the kyphosis of the PKP group was more substantial (P < 0.05). In summary, the thoracolumbar segment model established by 3D finite element method was an effective model, and it was verified on patients that both PKP and PVP could achieve relatively satisfactory efficacy. The implantation of the new internal fixation system had no obvious effect on the lumbar movement. This work provided a novel idea and method for the treatment of senile thoracolumbar unstable fracture, as well as experimental data of biomechanics for the operation of senile unstable fracture.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This retrospective analysis of insurance claims evaluated real-world trends in prescription fills among patients treated with balloon kyphoplasty (N = 6,656) or vertebroplasty (N = 2,189) following diagnosis of vertebral compression fracture. Among those with evidence of opioid use, nearly half of patients discontinued or reduced prescription fills relative to pre-operative levels. INTRODUCTION Vertebral compression fractures (VCF) are associated with debilitating pain, spinal misalignment, increased mortality, and increased healthcare-resource utilization in elderly patients. This study evaluated the effect of balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) or vertebroplasty (VP) on post-procedure opioid prescription fills and payer costs in patients with VCF. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of a large, nationally representative insurance-claims database. Clinical characteristics, opioid prescription patterns, and payer costs for subjects who underwent either BKP or VP to treat VCF were evaluated beginning 6 months prior to surgery through 7-month follow-up that included a 30-day, postoperative medication washout. Patient demographics, changes in opioid utilization, and payer costs were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 8,845 patients met eligibility criteria (75.3% BKP and 24.7% VP) with a mean of age 77 and 74% female. Among the 75% of patients who used opioids, 48.7% of patients discontinued opioid medication and 8.4% reduced prescription fills versus preoperative baseline. Patients who reduced or discontinued prescriptions exhibited a decrease in all-cause payer costs relative to pre-intervention levels, which was a significantly greater change relative to patients with no change, increase, or new start of opioids. CONCLUSIONS Interventional treatment for VCF was associated with decreased or discontinued opioid prescription fills and reduced payer costs in follow-up in a significant proportion of the study population. Reduction of opioid-based harms may represent a previously unrecognized benefit of vertebral augmentation for VCF, especially in this elderly and medically fragile population.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Meta-analysis. OBJECTIVE To systematically compare the effectiveness and safety of vertebral augmentation procedure (VAP) with non-surgical management (NSM) for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebrate compression fractures (OVCFs). METHODS Systematic reviews and meta-analyses with the comparison between VAP and NSM were identified to extract randomized controlled trials from electronic database. Additionally, recently published RCTs were identified. Two researchers independently extracted the data. The primary outcome of this meta-analysis was pain relief evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS). RESULTS Twenty RCTs involving 2566 patients with painful OVCFs were included. Significant differences were found between percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and conservative treatment (CT) in VAS at each time point during follow-up period. The differences of VAS were not significant between PVP and sham procedure at most time points during follow-up period. In subgroup analysis based on fracture type and fracture location, significant differences of VAS were found between PVP and CT and were not found between PVP and sham procedure. In subgroup analysis of duration of back pain, significant differences were found between PVP and CT in VAS at 1 week, 3 month and 1 year. And the differences of VAS were not significant between PVP and CT at 1 month and 6 month. CONCLUSION BKP is considered sufficient to achieve good clinical outcomes. PVP is associated with on beneficial effect on treatment of painful OVCFs compared with sham procedure. The indication and timing of VAP need further research. More independently high-quality RCTs with sufficiently large sample sizes reporting cost-effectiveness are needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the efficacy and complications of different surgical modalities in the treatment of osteoporotic spinal compression fractures (OSCFs) in the elderly. METHODS This retrospective study included 98 elderly patients with OSCFs who received surgical treatment in the Changsha Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from March 2018 to July 2020. Based on different surgical treatments, the patients were divided into a percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) group (n=51) and a percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) group (n=47). The intraoperative blood loss, operation time, the amount of bone cement per vertebral body, length of hospitalization, and fracture healing time were recorded and compared between the two groups. The original anterior wall height and middle height of the compressed fractured vertebra were then evaluated and compared at 3 time points, namely before operation, 2 days after operation, and 6 months after operation. Pain, spinal function improvement and Cobb's angle were evaluated and compared between the two cohorts of patients before operation and 3 months after operation. Adverse reactions and bone cement permeability were recorded and compared between the two groups. Patients' quality of life quality was evaluated using the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) before treatment and 12 months after treatment. Treatment satisfaction was evaluated. RESULTS Intraoperative blood loss, the average use of bone cement per vertebral body and length of hospitalization were similar between the groups (P>0.05). However, the PKP group had significantly longer operation time and fracture healing time than the PVP group (P<0.05). Vertebral 3D volume, as well as anterior wall and middle vertebra heights increased significantly at 6 months after surgery in both groups (all P<0.05). In addition, anterior wall and middle vertebra heights increased more in the PVP group than in the PKP group. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Oswesrty Disability Index (ODI) scores, as well as Cobb's angle decreased in both groups at 3 months after treatment (all P<0.05). The Cobb's angle and VAS score of the PVP group showed more significant reductions (all P<0.05). The PKP group had a higher incidence of adverse reactions and bone cement leakage rate than the PVP group (all P<0.05). However, no distinct difference was determined between the two groups in terms of patients' quality of life at 12 months after surgery. Treatment satisfaction was significantly higher in the PVP group than the PKP group. CONCLUSION For the treatment of senile OSCFs, both PVP and PKP have the advantages of little trauma and quick recovery. PVP has an edge over PKP with significantly shorter operation time, lower possibility of bone cement venous leakage and adjacent cone fracture, and higher surgical safety.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE -The rib approach is a new extrapedicular approach for vertebral augmentation in the thoracic spine. This article discusses the surgical essentials and therapeutic effect. METHODS -Computed tomography (CT) imagings were obtained from 100 subjects to stimulate a Φ 4-mm puncture needle via the rib approach to determine the anatomical parameters of the channel and the position of the needle inserted in the vertebral body. Application results for 26 patients with T5-10 lesions were observed, four patients were treated under general anesthesia and 22 were treated under local anesthesia. RESULTS -The channel diameter was 5.9-7.0 mm. In T5-10, the puncture needle could reach the middle of the midsagittal line of vertebral bodies in the transverse plane and only reached the middle and upper parts of the vertebral body in the sagittal plane. One week after surgery, the visual analog scale (VAS) sores decreased to 2.4 ± 0.8, the ODI decreased to 13.4 ± 5.9, and the anterior and posterior vertebral body height ratios recovered to 82.2 ± 13.7% and 86.3 ± 13.2%, respectively (all, P < 0.05). No intraspinal cement leakage or nerve injury was noted. CONCLUSIONS -Vertebral augmentation via the rib approach is suitable only for patients with T5-10 lesions located in the middle and upper parts of the vertebral body. The puncture needle should be inclined inward and downward. This method is characterized by simple execution and low risks of intraspinal cement leakage and nerve injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish a predictive scoring system for proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) after posterior internal fixation in elderly patients with chronic osteoporotic vertebral fracture (COVF). MATERIALS AND METHODS The medical records of 88 patients who were diagnosed with COVF and underwent posterior internal fixation in our hospital from January 2013 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The included patients were divided into two groups according to whether they suffered PJK after surgery, namely, the PJK group (25 cases) and non-PJK group (63 cases). The following clinical characteristics were recorded and analyzed: age, gender, body mass index (BMI), bone mineral density (BMD), smoking history, fracture segment, proximal junction angle, sagittal vertebral axis, pelvic incidence (PI)-lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) injury, upper instrumented vertebra, lower instrumented vertebra, and the number of fixed segments. The prevalence of these clinical characteristics in the PJK group was evaluated, and the scoring system was established using logistic regression analysis. The performance of the scoring system was also prospectively validated. RESULTS The predictive scoring system was established based on five clinical characteristics confirmed as significant predictors of PJK, namely, age > 70 years, BMI > 28 kg/m2, BMD < -3.5 SD, preoperative PI-LL > 20°, and PLC injury. PJK showed a significantly higher score than non-PJK (7.80 points vs. 2.83 points, t=9.556, P<0.001), and the optimal cutoff value for the scoring system was 5 points. The sensitivity and specificity of the scoring system for predicting postoperative PJK were 80.00% and 88.89%, respectively, in the derivation set and 75.00% and 80.00% in the validation set. CONCLUSION The predictive scoring system was confirmed with satisfactory sensitivity and specificity in predicting PJK after posterior internal fixation in elderly COVF patients. The risk of postoperative PJK in patients with a score of 6-11 is high, while the score of 0-5 is low.

Abstract
Background Turner syndrome (TS) is characterized as the complete or partial absence of one X chromosome and is an extremely rare disease affecting approximately 1:2500 live female births. Though the prevalence of osteoporosis among women with TS is estimated to be around 55–64% and they suffer more frequently from fractures than normal, few reports concerning TS patients with osteoporosis are able to be seen due to tiny number of patients. Case presentation Here, we report a rare case of TS with osteoporosis, who has undergone percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) seven times because of several vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). G-banded karyotype analysis was performed and the result was 45,X[43]/47,XXX[17], indicating that the patient was a mosaicism of TS karyotype and Trisomy X syndrome karyotype. TS is the underlying cause of low level of estrogen for this patient. The interaction of aging, estrogen deficiency and intestinal dysbacteriosis leads to her severe osteoporosis and multi-segmental VCFs. The aim of this report is to provide recommendations regarding the management of TS patients with osteoporosis by reviewing the clinical presentation of TS, the influence of estrogen deficiency in osteoporosis, etc. Conclusions Early diagnosis and hormone replacement treatment are essential for TS patients to prevent osteoporosis and reduce the risk of fractures. This is a rare case report describing TS patient with severe osteoporosis and VCFs.

Abstract
Axial compressive/flexion moderate forces on the anterior spinal elements may cause vertebral compression fractures (VCF), compromising the anterior column of the spine, reducing vertebral body height and leading to characteristic wedge-shaped deformity. 60% to 75% of VCFs are located in the thoracolumbar junction (T12 - L2) due to mechanical forces upon the transition from the relatively fixed thoracic to the relatively mobile lumbar spine. Compression force spinal fractures vary in literature according to the classification system in use, resulting in controversial treatment options. Type A fracture patterns of AO classification are eligible for non-operative treatment provided the posterior complex is intact and there are no neurologic complications. That includes both simple compressive and burst fractures. The aim of this study is to investigate the long-term consequences of non-operative treated compressive thoracolumbar fractures regarding posttraumatic deformity, chronic back pain, and functional status. A retrospective study of 75 patients with stable (compressive and burst type A AO) spinal fractures of the thoracolumbar spine (T12-L2) without neurological symptoms and treated non-operatively was conducted. Post traumatic regional kyphosis, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were used to evaluate deformity progression, pain and alteration of the quality of life during follow up. There was no significant correlation between magnitude of posttraumatic regional kyphosis, sex, pain score and disability index. Statistically significant correlation between patients age and disability index was revealed.

Analysis on the Effect of Different Surgical Methods on the Treatment of Senile Osteoporotic Spinal Compression Fractures and the Influencing Factors of Complications. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2021; 2021:1599470.

Abstract
Osteoporotic fractures are a common type of fractures in the elderly, among which spinal compression fractures are more common. After the occurrence of fractures, due to the compression and burst of the vertebral body, this will lead to local kyphosis deformity and even affect the balance of the sagittal spine. In the past, conservative treatments were used for osteoporotic spinal compression fractures. Although it can relieve pain symptoms, it can easily lead to complications such as aggravation of osteoporosis and deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities. At present, percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) are the main clinical surgical treatments, both of which are minimally invasive surgery, short operation time, effective pain relief, and rapid postoperative recovery. Although both of them are effective, there is still controversy over the efficacy of both in the treatment of osteoporotic spinal compression fractures. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of PVP and PKP in the treatment of elderly osteoporotic spinal compression fractures and to analyze the related factors that affect the occurrence of postoperative complications. The results show that both PVP and PKP can effectively improve the pain and dysfunction of elderly patients with osteoporotic spinal compression fracture, restoration of vertebral height, and correct kyphosis, but PKP has better effect and higher safety and is worth promoting. Postoperative complications of patients are related to their age, bone mineral density, use of hormones, and antiosteoporosis treatment.

Abstract
Spinal metastases are an increasing societal health burden secondary to improvements in systemic therapy. Estimates indicate that 100,000 or more people have symptomatic spine metastases requiring management. While open surgery and external beam radiotherapy have been the pillars of treatment, there is growing interest in more minimally invasive technologies (eg separation surgery) and non-operative interventions (eg percutaneous cementoplasty, stereotactic radiosurgery). The great expansion of these alternatives to open surgery and the prevalence of adjuvant therapeutic options means that treatment decision making is now complex and reliant upon multidisciplinary collaboration. To help facilitate construction of care plans that meet patient goals and expectations, clinical decision aids and prognostic scores have been developed. These have been shown to have superior predictive value relative to more classic prediction models and may become an increasingly important aspect of the clinical practice of spinal oncology. Here we overview current therapeutic advances in the management of spine metastases and highlight emerging areas for research. Given the rapid advancements in surgical technologies and adjuvants, the field is likely to undergo further transformative changes in the coming decade.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study analyzed the effect of multi-platform extended care on postoperative self-efficacy and quality of life in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compressive fracture (OVCF). METHODS 162 OVCF patients who underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) or percutanous kyphoplasty (PKP) surgery in our hospital from January 2018 to June 2019 were classified into a control group (n=78) and an observation group (n=84) based on the admission time. The control group was given conventional health guidance and follow-up by telephone, and the observation group got multi-platform extended care. The postoperative incidence of re-fracture, Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI) before and after intervention, self-efficacy and quality of life were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Incidence of re-fracture in the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The ODI scores of the two groups 3, 6, and 12 months after operation were lower than those on discharge (P<0.05), and the observation group had lower OD scores than the control group 6 and 12 months after operation (P<0.05). The self-efficacy scores of the two groups 6 months after discharge were higher than that on discharge (P<0.05), and the index in the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). In addition, the scores of all dimensions of quality of life in two groups 6 months of discharge were higher than those on discharge (P<0.05), and the scores in the observation group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Multi-platform extended care can effectively reduce the risk of postoperative re-fracture in OVCF patients, facilitate the improvement of patients' lumbar function, self-efficacy, and quality of life, and improve the prognosis of patients, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Percutaneous vertebroplasty versus conservative treatment and placebo in osteoporotic vertebral fractures: meta-analysis and critical review of the literature. Eur Radiol 2021; 31:8542-8553. [PMID: 33963449 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-021-08018-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2020] [Revised: 02/23/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2021] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the current evidence regarding the efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) over conservative treatment (CT) and placebo in osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) by performing a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases. The main outcomes were pain relief, improvement of functional disability, and quality of life at different time points: short-term (1-2 weeks), medium-term (1-3 months), and long-term (≥ 6 months). Subgroup analyses based on time from fracture onset and sham procedure were also performed. RESULTS A total of 14 RCTs were included in the meta-analysis. PVP showed significant benefits over CT in all outcomes, but slight-to-none clear differences over placebo. Subgroup analyses revealed that PVP performed in fractures < 6 weeks provided superior short-term pain relief than the control group (p = .02), and better quality of life in the medium-term (p = .03) and long-term (p = .006). Placebo based on infiltrating the skin alone was significantly inferior to PVP at most time points in all outcomes, but no significant differences between PVP and placebo were found when the sham procedure consisted of infiltrating both the skin and periosteum. CONCLUSIONS PVP showed significant advantages over CT in terms of efficacy, but benefits were more limited when compared to placebo. In addition, benefits of PVP are more prominent in recent OVFs. Differences in the sham procedure or criteria regarding patient's selection/allocation seem to be the main causes of disparity in previous RCTs. KEY POINTS • Previous RCTs showed significant advantages of PVP over CT in terms of efficacy, but benefits were more limited when compared to placebo. • Differences in patient allocation or in the sham procedure might explain the lack of benefits of PVP versus placebo found in previous RCTs. • Despite controversial opinions, PVP should be offered to patients with OVFs as an alternative option to conservative treatment.

[PMID: 33708455 PMCID: PMC7907941 DOI: 10.1177/2151459321996178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2020] [Revised: 01/19/2021] [Accepted: 01/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction To analyze perioperative hidden blood loss (HBL) and its influencing factors in elderly patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP). Materials and Methods From January 2016 to December 2018, 103 elderly patients with OVCF (age > 85 years) treated with PVP were selected. The patient's height, weight, duration of symptoms, previous medical history and other basic information were recorded. The hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) immediately after admission and the next day postoperative were recorded. The operation time, surgical bleeding, Kummell's disease, vertebral height preoperative and postoperative, and bone cement leakage was recorded. The total blood loss (TBL) was calculated according to Gross's formula, and HBL was calculated based on the TBL and surgical bleeding. The influential factors were analyzed by multivariate linear regression analysis and single factor correlation analysis. Results The mean surgical bleeding was 11.83 ± 5.37 mL, and HBL was 306.19 ± 185.92 mL, with a statistically significant difference (P = 0.000). According to the multiple linear regression analysis, the duration of symptoms (P = 0.030), number of fracture segments (P = 0.016), operation time (P = 0.004), loss of vertebral height (P = 0.026), recovery of vertebral height (P = 0.004), Kummell's disease (P = 0.040) and cement leakage (P = 0.004) were correlated with an increased amount of HBL. Sex (P = 0.077), body mass index (BMI) (P = 0.486), hypertension (P = 0.734), diabetes (P = 0.769), fracture level (P = 0.518) and surgical bleeding (P = 0.821) had no correlation with the amount of HBL. Conclusions There was obvious HBL during the perioperative period of PVP in elderly patients with OVCF. A fresh fracture, multi-segment vertebral fracture, longer operation time, presence of Kummell's disease, loss of vertebral height, recovery of vertebral height and cement leakage the increased perioperative HBL during PVP.

Abstract
Purpose Biomechanical comparison of wedge and biconcave deformity of different height restoration after augmentation of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures was analyzed by three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA). Methods Three-dimensional finite element model (FEM) of T11-L2 segment was constructed from CT scan of elderly osteoporosis patient. The von Mises stresses of vertebrae, intervertebral disc, facet joints, displacement, and range of motion (ROM) of wedge and biconcave deformity were compared at four different heights (Genant 0–3 grade) after T12 vertebral augmentation. Results In wedge deformity, the stress of T12 decreased as the vertebral height in neutral position, flexion, extension, and left axial rotation, whereas increased sharply in bending at Genant 0; L1 and L2 decreased in all positions excluding flexion of L2, and T11 increased in neutral position, flexion, extension, and right axial rotation at Genant 0. No significant changes in biconcave deformity. The stress of T11-T12, T12-L1, and L1-L2 intervertebral disc gradually increased or decreased under other positions in wedge fracture, whereas L1-L2 no significant change in biconcave fracture. The utmost overall facet joint stress is at Genant 3, whereas there is no significant change under the same position in biconcave fracture. The displacement and ROM of the wedge fracture had ups and downs, while a decline in all positions excluding extension in biconcave fracture. Conclusions The vertebral restoration height after augmentation to Genant 0 affects the von Mises stress, displacement, and ROM in wedge deformity, which may increase the risk of fracture, whereas restored or not in biconcave deformity.

Abstract
Background Percutaneous kyphoplasty is the main method in the treatment of thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fractures. However, much radiation exposure during the operation harms the health of surgeons and patients. In addition, the accuracy of this surgery still needs to be improved. This study aimed to assess the radiation exposure and clinical efficacy of Tirobot-assisted vertebroplasty in treating thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fracture. Methods Included in this retrospective cohort study were 60 patients (60–90 years) who had undergone unilateral vertebroplasty for thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fracture at our hospital between June 2019 and June 2020. All showed no systemic diseases and were assigned to Tirobot group (treated with Tirobot-assisted approach) and control group (treated with traditional approach). Fluoroscopic frequency, operative duration, length of stay (LOS), post-operative complications (cement leakage, infection, and thrombosis), and pre-operative and pre-discharge indexes (VAS score, JOA score, and Cobb’s angle) were compared. Results The fluoroscopic frequency (P < 0.001) and post-operative complications (P = 0.035) in Tirobot group were significantly lower than those in control group. The operative duration and LOS in the Tirobot group were shorter than those in the control group, but the differences were not statistically significant (P = 0.183). Pre-discharge VAS score and Cobb’s angle decreased, and JOA increased after surgeries in both groups. These three indexes showed a significant difference after surgery in each group (P < 0.001), but not between groups (PVAS = 0.175, PCobb’s = 0.585, PJOA = 0.448). Conclusion The Tirobot-assisted vertebroplasty can reduce surgery-related trauma, post-operative complications, and patients’ and operators’ exposure to radiation. As a safe and effective strategy, this surgery can realize the quick recovery from thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fracture.

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
The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of the curved puncture approach with 2 conventional approaches in percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for the treatment of single-level osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Ninety-six patients with a single-level thoracolumbar vertebral fracture were surgically treated in the authors' department from February 2016 to February 2018. Patients were randomly divided into 3 groups, including 25 patients who had PVP punctured with a curved vertebroplasty needle (group C), 40 patients with unipedicular PVP with a straight vertebroplasty needle (group U), and 31 patients with bipedicular PVP with a straight vertebroplasty needle (group B). The short-term efficacies of PVP using different vertebroplasty needles were compared. Significant differences were tested preoperatively and postoperatively in vertebral body height variation, visual analog scale score, and Oswestry Disability Index in each of the 3 groups (P<.05). There was no significant difference among the groups in terms of Cobb angle correction and bone cement leakage. Group C and group U were superior to group B in terms of operative time and injected cement volume (P<.05). Twenty-four (96.0%) patients in group C and 29 (93.5%) patients in group B had centered cement distribution without significant differences (P>.05), which was superior to group U (P<.05). Curved puncture PVP achieved a satisfactory clinical outcome for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, with the advantages of less operative time, less injected cement volume, and more reasonable cement distribution for stabilization of the affected vertebrae.

Abstract
Abstract
Background Vertebral osteoporotic fractures are a major cause of morbidity and disability among the elderly population.This study sought to compare the incidence of new vertebral fractures in patients treated by vertebroplasty with that of those managed conservatively, while also assessing the potential risk factors contributing to the occurrence of these fractures.
Materials and Methods The details of a total of 121 eligible subjects with radiologically proven osteoporotic vertebral fractures were retrieved from our archive between January 2010 and September 2019 and divided, based on the treatment method, into percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) (n = 60) and nonsurgical treatment (n = 61). The included subjects’ clinical data, demographic profiles, and imaging findings on plain radiography, CT, and MRI scans performed at baseline and within 24 months following treatment were reviewed and documented.
Results The difference in the incidence of new fractures was statistically significant (p = 0.001), with rates of 70% (n = 32) in the vertebroplasty group and 30% (n = 14) in the conservatively treated cases reported at a median follow-up time point of approximately 4 months. The presence of liver disease (p = 0.037), a history of transplantation (p = 0.003), the use of steroids (p = 0.023), a low-bone mineral density (BMD) score (p = 0.023), and a higher number of fractures on baseline imaging (p = 0.013) were associated with a greater risk of subsequent vertebral fractures.
Conclusions The incidence of acute fractures after PVP is higher than that among patients treated conservatively. Decision-making regarding the adoption of this intervention should take into consideration the risk factors leading to a greater risk of subsequent vertebral fractures, such as a higher number of fractures at baseline imaging, low-BMD score, patient comorbidities, and steroid use.

Abstract
Hintergrund Osteoporotische Wirbelkörperfrakturen sind eine häufige Verletzung alter Menschen, deren optimale Behandlung (konservativ oder operativ) diskutiert wird. Die Literatur beschreibt nach Wirbelkörperaugmentationen geringere Mortalitäten als nach konservativer Therapie. Ob eine positive Korrelation des operativen Vorgehens mit dem Überleben nach oben genannten Verletzungen besteht, soll im eigenen alterstraumatologischen Patientenkollektiv überprüft werden. Methodik Es erfolgte die Erfassung aller Patienten, die mit einer osteoporotischen Wirbelkörperfraktur vom 01.02.2014 bis 31.01.2015 auf einer alterstraumatologischen Station behandelt wurden. Im Rahmen eines 2‑Jahres-Follow-up wurden diese auf die assoziierte Sterblichkeit untersucht, wobei insbesondere der Einfluss der Therapie untersucht wurde. Ergebnisse Insgesamt konnten 74 Patienten (Rücklauf 74 %) mit einem durchschnittlichen Alter von 83,2 Jahren eingeschlossen werden, davon wurden 40 konservativ und 34 operativ versorgt. Die gesamte Ein- und Zweijahresmortalität betrugen 29,7 % bzw. 35,1 %, nach operativer Versorgung 20,6 % bzw. 23,5 % und nach konservativer Therapie 37,5 % bzw. 45 % (p = 0,113 bzw. 0,086, Chi-Quadrat-Test). Die um Störfaktoren bereinigte „hazard ratio“ betrug 2,0 (95 %-KI: 0,686–6,100) Diskussion Auch wenn möglicherweise wegen der eher geringen Fallzahl kein signifikantes Ergebnis nachgewiesen werden konnte, zeigen die Analysen eine Tendenz des verbesserten Überlebens nach operativem Vorgehen. Dies steht im Einklang mit internationalen Studien. Bestehende Untersuchungen lassen vermuten, dass die Reduktion der Kyphosierung durch die Operation einen wichtigen kausalen Zusammenhang darstellen könnte.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to identify all relevant randomized controlled trials (RCT) and prospective non-RCTs to further investigate whether percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) was associated with clinical and radiological subsequent fractures on unoperated levels. METHODS We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library, Google Scholar, web of science, and ClinicalTrial.gov from the establishment of the database to January 2020. All eligible studies comparing subsequent fractures after PVA with those after conservative treatment (CT) were incorporated. The pooled risk ratio (RR) with its 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) was used. Heterogeneity, sensitivity, and publication bias analyses were performed. RESULTS In all, 32 studies were included in the study: 82/512 patients (16.02%) and 58/433 patients (13.39%) had clinical subsequent fractures in the PVA group and CT group, respectively. No significant differences were observed between the two groups [RR = 1.22, 95% CI 0.70-2.12, P = 0.49]. Further, 175/837 patients (20.91%) in the PVA group and 160/828 patients (19.32%) in the CT group had radiological subsequent fractures. No significant difference was observed between groups [RR = 0.91, 95% CI 0.71-2.12, P = 1.16]. Further, no statistical difference was observed on subgroup analysis between RCTs and non-RCTs or PVP and PKP. CONCLUSION Our systematic review revealed that subsequent fractures on unoperated levels were not associated with PVA, regardless of whether they were clinical or radiological subsequent fractures.

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.

Risk Factors for Cement Leakage and Adjacent Vertebral Fractures in Kyphoplasty for Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures. Clin Spine Surg 2020; 33:E251-E255. [PMID: 32011354 DOI: 10.1097/bsd.0000000000000928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Cement leakage and adjacent vertebral fractures are not uncommon after percutaneous augmentation. However, conclusive identification of risk factors for postprocedural complications remains elusive. The anticipation of leakage and successive fractures through the identification of risk factors will help physicians better inform patients of potential complications and establish procedural refinements key to risk reduction. The aim of this retrospective study was to summarize available reports of the risk factors for cement leak and adjacent vertebral fracture in or after kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. METHODS A total of 102 cases of bilateral percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP), performed between January 2014 and December 2016, were retrospectively reviewed. Each case surveyed in this review included a minimum 1-year follow-up and data on age, sex, bone mineral density, Visual Analog Scale score, preoperative compression rate, kyphotic angle, treatment time, the volume of cement, and the intactness of the vertebral posterior wall (computed tomography scan) were collected. Pearson χ test and independent samples test were used to determine the relative risk factors of cement leak and adjacent vertebral fracture in patient subsets. RESULTS Diabetic status and alteration in the Cobb angle after PKP exhibited a statistically significant correlation with the incidence of new adjacent vertebral fracture (group B) (P<0.05). In addition, the integrity of vertebral walls (P=0.001) and the volume of injected cement (P=0.026) significantly boosted the potential risk of cement leakage (P<0.05), although these variables did not associate with the adjacent fracture. Additional examined variables, including age, sex, Visual Analog Scale scores, number of fractures were not significantly associated with leakage or adjacent vertebral fracture risk. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes and the alteration of the Cobb angle following PKP are factors positively related to the occurrence of postoperative adjacent vertebral fractures. It is also demonstrated that the integrity of vertebral walls and average volumes of injected cement are the possible risk factors of cement leakage while performing the PKP.

Abstract
Background Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) are widely used in the treatment of Kümmell’s disease. The purpose of this article is to investigate the clinical efficacy of PVP and PKP for Kümmell’s disease. Methods The clinical data that 56 cases of Kümmell’s disease treated with either PVP (28 cases) or PKP (28 cases) from December 2015 to December 2017 were prospectively analyzed. Gender, age, course of disease, injury segment, bone mineral density (BMD), visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), imaging measurement indexes before surgery between the two groups showed no significant difference (all P > 0.05). The bone cement leakage rate, bone cement injection amount, operation time, VAS, ODI, the rate of vertebral compression, correction rate of kyphosis and refracture rate of adjacent vertebra in 2 years were compared between the two groups to calculate clinical efficacy. Results The two groups were followed up for 24–48 months. There was no significant difference in the follow-up time, amount of bone cement injected, incidence of bone cement leakage and refracture rate of adjacent vertebrae between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss and fluoroscopy times of the PVP group were significantly lower than those of the PKP group (all P = 0.000). VAS score and ODI of the two groups were significantly lower at 1 day, 1 year and 2 years after surgery than before surgery (all P < 0.05), but there was not statistically significant difference between the two groups at each time point after surgery (all P > 0.05). The rate of vertebral compression and kyphosis correction in the two groups were significantly corrected (P < 0.05, respectively) and decreased significantly with time (all P < 0.05), But there was not significant difference between the two groups at any time point (all P > 0.05). Conclusion Both PVP and PKP can achieve similar effects in the treatment of Kümmell’s disease. Because the cost, operation time, blood loss, radiation exposure and surgical procedure of PVP are less than those of PKP, PVP has more clinical priority value.

Abstract
Aim Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) is a routine operation for the treatment of vertebral compression fracture (VCF). Both local anesthesia and general anesthesia are widely used for PKP. However, which type of anesthesia is better for PKP still remains uncertain. This study aimed to find out whether local anesthesia or general anesthesia is more suitable for PKP. Methods This is a retrospective clinical trial. A total of 85 single-level VCF patients who received PKP 12 months ago were recruited in this study. 45 patients who received local anesthesia were in group L, and 40 patients with general anesthesia were in group G. Clinical, radiological, and economic data between the two groups were collected. Results No difference was found on preoperative data between the two groups. The duration of operation time in group L was longer than that in group G. Within 12 months after PKP, more complications happened in group G than those in group L. Results No difference was found on preoperative data between the two groups. The duration of operation time in group L was longer than that in group G. Within 12 months after PKP, more complications happened in group G than those in group L. Conclusion Both local anesthesia and general anesthesia were reliable for PKP. However, local anesthesia was more efficient and safer with less expense and more bearable pain when compared with general anesthesia.

Abstract
Background. Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) are common in older patients, which can cause back pain and even increase morbidity. However, the optimal therapy for patients with OVCFs remains unknown. Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), a minimally invasive procedure, has been a therapy option that is known to be effective in the pain management. Aim. The meta-analysis aims to summarize current best evidence on the efficacy of PVP and conservative treatment (CT) for pain management and functional results among OVCFs patients. Methods. We searched the publications on comparison of the efficacy of PVP versus CT for OVCFs patients up to November 2018. After rigorous reviewing on the quality, the data were extracted from eligible trials. All trials analyzed the summary hazard ratios of the endpoints of interest. Results. Moderate-strong evidence indicated that PVP had benefits on pain relief at 1 week and 1 month, but not at 3 months. With regard to the quality of life, no significant differences were found in the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ). However, there is significant difference in terms of EuroQol and Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis but not the RMDQ. Moreover, there were no any benefit in terms of vertebral fracture between groups. Conclusions. The meta-analysis showed that patients treated with vertebroplasty were associated with better pain relief and improved quality of life, without increasing the incidence of vertebral fracture compared with the CT group.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We performed a 1-year prospective study to see whether zoledronic acid infusion combined with percutaneous kyphoplasty could provide more benefits in the treatment of T12 or L1 osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). INTRODUCTION To investigate and analyze the clinical effects of zoledronic acid (ZOL) in combination with percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the treatment of OVCF in postmenopausal women. METHODS Included in this study were 101 postmenopausal women patients with T12 or L1 OVCF who received PKP in our hospital between August 2015 and July 2017. They were randomly assigned to a zoledronic acid (ZOL) group (n = 50) or a control group (n = 51). Patients in ZOL group were treated preoperatively with IV infusion of 5 mg ZOL in combination with 0.25μg/d calcitriol and D3 600 mg/d calcium carbonate for a year. Patients in the control group were treated with the same dose of calcitriol and calcium carbonate D3 without ZOL. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference in age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), menopause age, and the fractured vertebral body between the two groups. At 6 and 12 months after treatment, bone mineral density (BMD) in ZOL group was higher than that in the control group (p < 0.01); bone markers (NMID, P1NP, and β-CTX) and the VAS score in ZOL group were significantly lower than those in the control group. No new fracture occurred in ZOL group. The incidence of recompression vertebral fracture (RVF) in the control group was 11.7%, while no RVF was detected in any patient in ZOL group. Mild adverse reactions in ZOL group were significantly higher than those in the control group, but all of them were relieved after symptomatic treatment. CONCLUSIONS ZOL IV infusion in combination with PKP is beneficial for the treatment of T12 or L1 OVCF.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective comparative study. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the clinical effects and imaging features of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bone cement with and without mineralized collagen (MC) in percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA PKP with PMMA is widely performed for OVCF. However, numerous complications have also been reported about the PMMA bone cement. Moreover, PMMA bone cement with and without MC have not been compared with respect to their postoperative efficacy and long-term follow-up. METHODS From July 2016 to July 2017, 105 OVCF patients were randomly divided into two groups based on their PKP treatment: MC-PMMA group and PMMA group. Clinical operation, cement leakage, Oswestry Disability Index, visual analog scale, height of the fractured vertebrae, Cobb angle, refracture of the adjacent vertebra, recompression, and computed tomography values of the injured vertebra were compared between the two groups postoperatively and after 1-year follow-up. RESULTS Clinical operation showed no differences between the two groups. Visual analog scale scores, Oswestry Disability Index scores, and Cobb angles showed statistically significant differences between the two groups after 1-year follow-up. The height of the vertebral body showed significant difference at 3 days postoperatively and preoperatively in each group and significant difference after 1 year between the two groups. The rate of refracture and leakage of the MC-PMMA group was lower than that of the PMMA group. The computed tomography value of the MC-PMMA group was obviously higher than that of the PMMA group after 1-year follow-up. CONCLUSION MC-modified PMMA did not change the beneficial properties of PMMA. This new bone cement has better biocompatibility, can form a stable structure in the vertebral body, and improve the prognosis of patients by reducing pain and reoperation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3.

Abstract
Objective. In this randomized, nonblinded, controlled study, the feasibility and precision of "targeted percutaneous vertebroplasty" ("targeted PVP") for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) was evaluated. Methods. A total of 42 patients, aged 50 to 87 years, with OVCF were randomly divided into 2 groups: A and B. Group A underwent "targeted PVP," and group B underwent traditional PVP with the guidance of C-arm fluoroscopy. Fluoroscopy times for skin puncture points (FTSPP), total radiation doses (TRD), total fluoroscopy times (TFT), and operation time were set as the main evaluation indicators. Results. FTSPP (1.52 ± 0.51 in group A vs 6.62 ± 2.58 in group B, U < .001), TRD (6.26 ± 1.51 in group A vs 11.32 ± 4.21 in group B, P < .001), TFT (16.57 ± 2.79 in group A vs 26.05 ± 6.18 in group B, P < .001), and operation time (20.05 ± 3.38 in group A vs 25.43 ±5.11 in group B, U < .001) were statistically different in the 2 groups. The incidence of cement leakage that occurred in group A (1/21, 4.76%) was significantly less than that in group B (9/21, 42.9%, P < 0.05). Conclusions. "Targeted PVP" may achieve (1) less skin positioning fluoroscopy times, less total fluoroscopy times and dose, shorter operation time, which is more precise than traditional PVP; (2) less incidence of cement leakage; and (3) visualization of the fractured vertebra, which is probably more valuable for the treatment of complicated OVCF patients.

Abstract
Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) are a common cause of back pain and disability and are usually osteoporotic in nature. Therapy aims to adequately control pain and allow early mobilisation and return of function while preventing additional fractures. A proportion of patients do not achieve adequate pain relief using conservative measures alone. Unwanted adverse effects from medications may also ensue. Vertebroplasty represents an alternative treatment option for VCFs. Patients with acute VCFs (≤6 weeks old) may gain the most benefit from vertebroplasty as healed fractures are not as amenable to cement injection. High-quality studies have reported conflicting results regarding the use of vertebroplasty in the treatment of acute VCFs. Despite high-quality evidence, varying study designs and heterogenous patient cohorts make interpretation of this data difficult. Only one sham-controlled randomised controlled trial (RCT) has evaluated vertebroplasty exclusively in patients with acute VCFs, reporting favourable results. Pooled data from RCTs also suggest vertebroplasty to be safe. This article provides a concise and critical review of the current literature regarding vertebroplasty for the treatment of acute VCFs.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) through unilateral puncture of extreme extrapedicular approach and bilateral injection of bone cement. Methods The clinical data of 156 patients with OVCF who met the selection criteria between January 2014 and January 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with PVP through unilateral puncture. According to different puncture methods, the patients were divided into two groups. In group A, 72 cases were performed PVP through the unilateral puncture of extreme extrapedicular approach and bilateral injection of bone cement, while in group B, 84 cases were performed PVP through the unilateral puncture of transpedicular approach. There was no significant difference in general data of gender, age, weight, bone mineral density, lesion segment, and disease duration between the two groups ( P>0.05). The radiation exposure time, operation time, volume of bone cement injection, rate of bone cement leakage, pre- and post-operative visual analogue scale (VAS) score and local Cobb angle were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference in radiation exposure time and operation time between the two groups ( P>0.05), but the volume of bone cement injection in group A was significantly more than that in group B ( t=20.024, P=0.000). Patients in both groups were followed up 24-32 months (mean, 26.7 months). There were 9 cases (12.5%) and 10 cases (11.9%) of cement leakage in group A and B, respectively. There was no significant difference in the incidence ( χ 2=0.013, P=0.910). No neurological symptoms and discomfort was found in the two groups. The VAS scores of the two groups were significantly improved after operation ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in local Cobb angle between before and after operation in group A ( P>0.05); but the significant difference was found in local Cobb angle between at 2 years after operation and other time points in group B ( P<0.05). The VAS score and local Cobb angle in group A were significantly better than those in group B at 2 years after operation ( P<0.05). Conclusion It is simple, safe, and feasible to use the unilateral puncture of extreme extrapedicular approach and bilateral injection of bone cement to treat OVCF. Compared with the transpedicular approach, the bone cement can be distributed bilaterally in the vertebral body without prolonging the operation time and radiation exposure time, and has an advantage of decreasing long-term local Cobb angle losing of the fractured vertebrae.
