Abstract
BACKGROUND Kümmell disease usually occurs in the elderly osteoporosis population and develops gradually into symptomatic, progressive kyphosis of the spine. However, current surgical methods to deal with stage III Kümmell disease are less satisfying. The objective of this study was to describe a less invasive technique for treating stage III Kümmell disease. TECHNIQUE A less invasive technique of intravertebral insertion of interbody fusion cage via transpedicular approach with posterior spine stabilization was applied to treat stage III Kümmell disease. RESULTS This study details a modified technique applied in a patient with stage III Kümmell disease, showing significant improvement in pain relief, anterior column height recovery, and kyphotic angle correction. And no complications were reported during our follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Intravertebral insertion of interbody fusion cage via transpedicular approach provides advantages of acceptable correction of kyphosis, bony fusion, minimal invasion. Thus, our method was a good alternative choice for stage III Kümmell disease.

Prevention of Bone Cement Displacement in Kümmell Disease without Neurological Deficits through Treatment with a Novel Hollow Pedicle Screw Combined with Kyphoplasty. Orthop Surg 2023; 15:2515-2522. [PMID: 37537414 PMCID: PMC10549841 DOI: 10.1111/os.13815] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2023] [Revised: 06/04/2023] [Accepted: 06/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Displacement of bone cement following percutaneous vertebral augmentation for Kümmell disease (KD) presents a significant concern, resulting in increasing back pain and compromising daily activities. Unfortunately, current literature does not yet establish a validated and minimally invasive surgical intervention for this issue. This study aims to investigate the effects of a novel hollow pedicle screw combined with kyphoplasty (HPS-KP) in preventing bone cement displacement following simply percutaneous kyphoplasty for the management of KD. METHODS A total of 22 patients (six males, 16 females, averagely aged 77.18 ± 7.63 years) with KD without neurological deficits treated by HPS-KP at the hospital between March 2021 and June 2022 were hereby selected, among which, there were three stage I KD cases, 12 stage II KD cases, and seven stage III KD cases according to Li's classification. Bone mineral density (BMD), spinal X-ray, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were examined before the operation. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative complications were all recorded. The follow-up focused on visual analog scale (VAS) score, Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI), anterior vertebral height (AVH), middle vertebral height (MVH), posterior vertebral height (PVH), wedge-shape affected vertebral Cobb angle (WCA), and bisegmental Cobb angle (BCA). One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Bonferroni post-hoc test was employed for performing multiple comparisons in the present study. RESULTS All patients having received the operation successfully were followed up for more than 8 months (ranging from 8 to 18 months). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and BMD (T-score) were 39.09 ± 5.64 min, 14.09 ± 3.98 ml, and - 3.30 ± 0.90 g/cm3 , respectively. Statistically significant differences were observed in the VAS score, ODI, AVH, MVH, and WCA (All p < 0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in PVH and BCA at different time points (All p > 0.05). During follow-up, five patients suffered from bone cement leakage, and one presented an adjacent vertebral fracture and no bone cement displacement. CONCLUSION HPS-KP could be safe and effective in the treatment of KD without neurological deficits, effectively relieving the symptoms of patients, restoring partial vertebral height, and preventing the occurrence of bone cement displacement.

Incidence, Risk Factors, and Outcomes of Symptomatic Bone Cement Displacement following Percutaneous Kyphoplasty for Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fracture: A Single Center Study. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11247530. [PMID: 36556143 PMCID: PMC9783083 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11247530] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2022] [Revised: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective. BACKGROUND Symptomatic bone cement displacement (BCD) is a rare complication following percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) interventions for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). This study aimed to investigate the incidence and the outcomes of symptomatic BCD comprehensively and identify its risk factors. METHODS The clinical data of patients treated with PKP for OVCF between January 2012 and December 2020 were extracted. Patients who developed BCD following PKP during follow-up were divided into the symptomatic and asymptomatic groups. Patients who did not develop BCD were assigned to the control group. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were used to compare the three clinical groups' features to assess the independent risk factors for the symptomatic and asymptomatic groups. RESULTS A total of 896 patients were enrolled. Twenty-one patients (2.3%) were identified as having symptomatic BCD following PKP for OVCF, and 35 (3.9%) developed asymptomatic BCD. Compared with the control group, the symptomatic and asymptomatic groups had a higher incidence of anterior leakage, intravertebral vacuum cleft (IVC) signs, and a lower cement distribution score. The symptomatic group had a lower relative cross-sectional area (rCSA) of the paraspinal muscle (PSM), higher PSM fatty degeneration, and higher kyphotic angle (at the last follow-up) than the asymptomatic and control groups. For outcomes, the symptomatic group had a higher VAS/ODI score and a higher incidence of new vertebral fractures compared with the asymptomatic and control groups. Anterior leakage (OR: 1.737, 95% CI: 1.215-3.300), the IVC sign (OR: 3.361, 95% CI: 1.605-13.036), the cement distribution score (OR: 0.476, 95% CI: 0.225-0.904), PSM rCSA (OR: 0.953, 95% CI: 0.917-0.992), and PSM fatty degeneration (OR: 1.061, 95% CI: 1.005-1.119) were identified as independent risk factors for the symptomatic group. Anterior leakage (OR: 1.839, 95% CI: 1.206-2.803), the IVC sign (OR: 2.936, 95% CI: 1.174-9.018), and cement distribution score (OR: 0.632, 95% CI: 0.295-0.858) were independent risk factors for the asymptomatic group. CONCLUSION The incidence of symptomatic BCD is 2.3% in patients treated with PKP. Anterior leakage, the IVC sign, and the distribution score were independent risk factors for BCD, and paraspinal muscle degeneration was a specific risk factor for symptomatic BCD. Symptomatic BCD can lead to poor outcomes.

Predictive Factors for Bone Cement Displacement following Percutaneous Vertebral Augmentation in Kümmell's Disease. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11247479. [PMID: 36556095 PMCID: PMC9783310 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11247479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: To investigate the independent influencing factors of bone cement displacement following percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) in patients with stage I and stage II Kümmell’s disease. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 824 patients with stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅱ Kümmell’s disease treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) or percutaneous vertebroplasty (PKP) from January 2016 to June 2022. Patients were divided into the postoperative bone cement displacement group (n = 150) and the bone cement non-displacement group (n = 674) according to the radiographic inspection results. The following data were collected: age, gender, body mass index (BMI), underlying disease, bone mineral density (BMD), involved vertebral segment, Kümmell’s disease staging, anterior height, local Cobb angle, the integrity of anterior vertebral cortex, the integrity of endplate in surgical vertebrae, surgical method, surgical approach, the volume of cement, distribution of cement, the viscosity of cement, cement leakage, and postoperative anti-osteoporosis treatment. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the independent influencing factors of bone cement displacement. The discrimination ability was evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC). Results: The results of logistic regression analysis revealed that thoracolumbar junction (odds ratio (OR) = 3.23, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.12−4.50, p = 0.011), Kümmell’s disease staging (OR = 2.23, 95% CI 1.81−3.41, p < 0.001), anterior cortex defect (OR = 5.34, 95% CI 3.53−7.21, p < 0.001), vertebral endplates defect (OR = 0.54, 95% CI 0.35−0.71, p < 0.001), cement distribution (OR = 2.86, 95% CI 2.03−3.52, p = 0.002), cement leakage (OR = 4.59, 95% CI 3.85−5.72, p < 0.001), restoration of local Cobb angle (OR = 3.17, 95% CI 2.40−5.73, p = 0.024), and postoperative anti-osteoporosis treatment (OR = 0.48, 95% CI 0.18−0.72, p = 0.025) were independently associated with the bone cement displacement. The results of the ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC was 0.816 (95% CI 0.747−0.885), the sensitivity was 0.717, and the specificity was 0.793. Conclusion: Thoracolumbar fracture, stage Ⅱ Kümmell’s disease, anterior cortex defect, uneven cement distribution, cement leakage, and high restoration of the local Cobb angle were risk factors for cement displacement after PVA in Kümmell’s disease, while vertebral endplates defect and postoperative anti-osteoporosis treatment are protective factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) or percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) are commonly employed for Kummell’s disease in stages II–III; however, these techniques produce some complications. OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical efficacy and imaging results of percutaneous vertebroplasty + bone cement-augmented short-segment pedicle screw fixation (PSPVP) versus transpedicular intracorporeal bone grafting + pedicle screw fixation (PSIBG) in the treatment of stage II–III Kummell’s disease. METHODS: A total of 69 patients admitted between November 2017 and March 2021 were included in this study; 36 of these were treated with PSPVP, and 33 were treated with PSIBG. Patients in the two groups were compared in terms of perioperative, follow-up, and imaging data. RESULTS: No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of operation duration (P > 0.05). However, the PSPVP group was superior to the PSIBG group in terms of incision length, intraoperative blood loss, and length of stay (P < 0.05). All patients were followed up for more than 12 months. The VAS score, height of anterior vertebral margin, kyphosis Cobb angle, wedge angle of the affected vertebra at seven days after surgery and last follow-up, and the ODI index at the last follow-up of the two groups were significantly improved compared with figures before surgery (P < 0.05). Compared with values before surgery, no statistically significant differences were found in the height of the posterior vertebral margin in the PSPVP group at seven days after surgery and at the last follow-up (P > 0.05). There were also no statistically significant differences in the VAS score, ODI index, kyphosis Cobb angle, and wedge angle of the affected vertebra between the two groups at corresponding time points (P > 0.05). The heights of the anterior and posterior vertebral margins in the PSIBG group were better than those in the PSPVP group after surgery and at the last follow-up (P < 0.05). In the PSPVP group, a pedicle screw fracture occurred in one patient two months after surgery, while an upper adjacent vertebral fracture occurred in one patient eight months after surgery. CONCLUSION: Both PSPVP and PSIBG can achieve good early clinical efficacy in the treatment of stage II–III Kummell’s disease, with PSPVP being relatively less invasive while producing a poorer orthopedic effect and more complications than PSIBG.

Abstract
Purpose To describe the operative technique and clinical effects of three-column enhanced percutaneous vertebroplasty used to treat Kummell’s disease. Methods From April 2017 to April 2020, 39 patients with Kummell’s disease were treated via three-column enhanced percutaneous vertebroplasty. There were 12 males and 27 females of average age 70.23 ± 7.41 years. The operative time, volume of bone cement injected, and intraoperative cement leakage were recorded. The patients were re-examined postoperatively. The VAS was used to evaluate low back pain and the ODI score to evaluate improvement in the quality-of-life. Results All patients were successfully operated upon; the average operation time was 35.1±4.7 min and average volume of bone cement injected 4.5±0.92 mL. Five cases exhibited bone cement leakage during operation, two into the intervertebral disc and three into the anterior upper margin of the vertebral body. No leakage into the vertebral canal occurred. The average hospital stay was 2.50±0.86 days. The VAS score before operation was 7.47±0.24, but low back pain symptoms were significantly relieved after operation (P < 0.05). The VAS scores at 1 day and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after operation were 2.91±0.09, 2.04±0.07, 1.59±0.05, 1.28±0.15, and 0.8±0.18, respectively. The preoperative ODI score was 72.97±1.45 and significantly decreased postoperatively (P < 0.05), being 30.08±1.79 at 1 day, and 25.35±0.94, 23.19±1.76, 20.49±0.65, and 20.05±0.58 at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after operation respectively. Conclusion Three-column enhanced percutaneous vertebroplasty effectively treats Kummell’s disease. The surgical trauma is low, recovery rapid, and bone cement fixation firm, especially in patients with stage I and II disease.

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.

Abstract
Background The continuous occurrence of Kummell's disease is extremely rare in clinical practice, and its treatment is difficult. The study aimed to present a rare case of consecutive Kummell's disease combined with Parkinson's disease (PD) and experienced internal fixation failure. Case presentation A 69‐year‐old female patient had a history of PD for 10 years, and was treated by posterior decompression, fixation, and fusion because of Kummell's disease of T12 with neurological damage. The patient's back pain and lower limb pain were significantly improved after surgery. Twenty‐two months later, the patient was rehospitalized for Kummell's disease of L4 with neuropathic pain of left lower extremity. She received almost identical surgical procedures as T12 lesion, and the difference was no L4 vertebroplasty preformed due to the fact that the L4 vertebrae collapse was not obvious, the intravertebral vacuum cleft (IVC) range was small, and the pedicle screw fixation strength was high. The pain symptoms were significantly relieved after operation. Unfortunately, there was a complication of internal fixation failure that occurred a month later, and a revision operation was carried out. Conclusion Osteoporosis combined with PD may lead patients to become prone to consecutive Kummell's disease, and patients are prone to experience failure of internal fixation. Bone cement filling of vertebral IVC and effective support of anterior vertebral column are very important procedures to ensure the clinical efficacy of treating Kummell's disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical outcomes and cement leakage rate between high-viscosity and low-viscosity cement percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) with manipulative reduction in the treatment of Kümmell's disease (KD). METHOD PVP using high-viscosity cement (Group H) or low-viscosity cement (Group L) with manipulative reduction was compared in 86 KD patients. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), vertebral height, kyphosis angle and complications were evaluated and compared preoperative, one day postoperative, and at final follow-up. RESULTS The VAS score, ODI score, mean anterior and middle vertebral height variation significantly improved in both groups postoperatively. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups considering the above results preoperative and postoperative. Significantly less cement leakage (13.6%) and shorter operative time (35.6 ± 5.1 min) were observed in Group H when compared with Group L (45.2% and 41.1 ± 5.3 min) (p< 0.05). CONCLUSION The clinical outcomes and radiologic findings of PVP with manipulative reduction was not influenced by cement viscosity. However, high cement viscosity PVP was found to be significant less cement leakage and shorter operative time.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. OBJECTIVE Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) are minimally invasive techniques widely used for the treatment of neurologically intact osteoporotic Kümmell's disease (KD), but which treatment is preferable remains controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to shed light on this issue. METHODS Six databases were searched for all relevant studies based on the PRISMA guidelines. Two investigators independently conducted a quality assessment, extracted the data and performed all statistical analyses. RESULTS Eight studies encompassing 438 neurologically intact osteoporotic KD patients met the inclusion criteria. Compared to PVP, PKP was associated with greater improvement in the short- and long-term Cobb angle [SMD = -0.37, P = 0.007; SMD = -0.34, P = 0.012], short-term anterior vertebral height [SMD = 0.43, P = 0.003] and long-term middle vertebral height [SMD = 0.57, P = 0.012] and a lower cement leakage rate [SMD = 0.50, P = 0.003] but produced more consumption (cement injection volume, operative time, fluoroscopy times, intraoperative blood loss and operation cost). However, there were no differences between the 2 procedures in the short- and long-term VAS and ODI scores, long-term anterior vertebral height, overall complications or new vertebral fractures. CONCLUSIONS Both procedures are equally effective for neurologically intact KD in terms of the clinical outcomes, with the exception of a lower cement leakage risk and better radiographic improvement for PKP but greater resource consumption. Based on the evidence available, good clinical judgment should be exercised in the selection of patients for these procedures.

Abstract
Objective To compare the effectiveness of robot assisted and C-arm assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the treatment of single/double-segment osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). Methods The clinical data of 108 cases of single/double-segment OVCF who met the selection criteria between May 2018 and October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 65 cases of single-segment fractures, of which 38 cases underwent "TiRobot" orthopedic robot-assisted PKP (robot group), 27 cases underwent C-arm X-ray machine fluoroscopy-assisted PKP (C-arm group). There were 43 cases of double-segment fractures, including 21 cases in robot group and 22 cases in C-arm group. There was no significant difference in gender, age, T value of bone mineral density, fracture segment distribution, time from injury to operation, and preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score, vertebral kyphosis angle (VKA), and height of fractured vertebra (HFV) in the patients with single/double-segments fractures between robot group and C-arm group ( P>0.05). The operation time, the fluoroscopy frequency of the surgeons and the patient, the fluoroscopy exposure time of the surgeons and the patient, the radiation dose of the C-arm; the VAS scores, VKA, HFV before operation, at 1 day and 6 months after operation; and the complications in the two groups were recorded and compared. Results All patients underwent surgery successfully. The operation time of the single-segment robot group was significantly longer than that of the C-arm group ( t=5.514, P=0.000), while the operation time of the double-segment robot group was not significantly different from that of the C-arm group ( t=1.892, P=0.205). The single/double-segment robot group required three-dimensional scanning, so the fluoroscopy frequency, fluoroscopy exposure time, and radiation dose of C-arm received by the patient were significantly higher than those of the C-arm group ( P<0.05); the fluoroscopy frequency and the fluoroscopy exposure time received by the surgeons were significantly less than those of the C-arm group ( P<0.05). There was no infection, embolism, neurological injury, and adjacent segmental fractures. The single/double-segment robot group showed lower rate of cement leakage when compared with the C-arm group ( P<0.05), all the cases of cement leakage happened outside the spinal canal. The VAS score, VKA, and HFV of the single/double-segment robot group and the C-arm group were significantly improved at 1 day and 6 months after operation ( P<0.05), and the VAS score at 6 months after operation was further improved compared with that at 1 day after operation ( P<0.05). At 1 day and 6 months after operation, there was no significant difference in VAS score between the single/double-segment robot group and the C-arm group ( P>0.05). The VKA and HFV of robot group were significantly better than those of the C-arm group ( P<0.05). Conclusion For single/double-segment OVCF, robot assisted PKP has more advantages in correcting VKA and HFV, reducing fluoroscopy exposure of surgeons and bone cement leakage rate; C-arm assisted PKP has more advantages in reducing the operation time of single-segment OVCF and fluoroscopy exposure of patients during operation.

A novel bone cement screw system combined with vertebroplasty for the treatment of Kummell disease with bone deficiency at the vertebral anterior border: A minimum 3-year follow-up study. Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2020; 201:106434. [PMID: 33370625 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2020.106434] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2020] [Revised: 12/02/2020] [Accepted: 12/10/2020] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES When vertebroplasty is used to treat Kummell disease with bone deficiency at the vertebral anterior border, bone cement displacement often occurs intraoperatively or postoperatively. We designed and used a new bone cement screw system to avoid this serious complication. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this novel operation method through more than 3 years of follow-up. PATIENTS AND METHODS From January 2014 to August 2016, 27 patients suffering from single-segment Kummell disease with bone deficiency at the vertebral anterior border were treated by vertebroplasty combined with a novel bone cement screw. Bone cement was released into the diseased vertebrae through the screw to fully fill the intravertebral vacuum cleft. Screw fixation of bone cement can avoid intraoperatively or postoperatively displacement. All patients received surgery involving a unilateral technique, and only one screw was implanted in each patient. The clinical efficacy was evaluated using Odom's criteria and statistical analysis of the vertebral body index (VBI), vertebral body angle (VBA), bisegmental Cobb angle (BCA), visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), and the results of the MOS 36-item short form health survey (SF-36). RESULTS The operation was completed successfully in 27 cases. The average operation time was 49.63 ± 10.82 min, and the average volume of cement injected was 4.70 ± 0.87 mL. The patients' preoperative VBI, VBA, BCA, VAS and ODI scores were 43.11 ± 5.94, 21.04 ± 2.55, 45.00 ± 6.26, 7.59 ± 0.84, and 79.85 ± 7.58, respectively. The postoperative measurements were 78.70 ± 2.55, 12.70 ± 2.11, 26.11 ± 4.73, 3.22 ± 0.93 and 50.04 ± 9.28, respectively. At the last follow-up, the measurements were 78.04 ± 2.30, 13.15 ± 2.38, 27.07 ± 4.87, 2.04 ± 0.65, and 22.85 ± 5.06, respectively. There was a significant difference between the preoperative and postoperative data, as well as the preoperative and the last follow-up data (P < 0.05). Comparing the results of SF-36 before operation and at the last follow-up revealed significant differences in physical function, role-physical, body pain, vitality, and social function (P < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences in general health, emotional function and mental health. Finally, 26 patients (96.3 %) had good to excellent clinical outcomes according to Odom's criteria. CONCLUSIONS This 3-year follow-up study shows that the novel bone cement screw system combined with vertebroplasty has a good short and medium-term therapeutic effect in patients with Kummell disease and bone deficiency at the vertebral anterior border, while its long-term efficacy is subject to further studies.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to present the different pattern of intravertebral vacuum cleft (IVC) related to high risk of cement complications in minimally invasive treatments for Kümmell's disease (KD) and relevant treatment strategies. Methods A retrospective study from January 2016 to January 2018 was conducted at Wuhan Fourth Hospital and comprised 35 patients with Kümmell's disease. There were seven males and 28 females, and the mean age of the patients was 70.4 years. The patterns of IVC in KD were analyzed. These patients were divided into three groups based on the treatment method used. The treatment methods included long‐segment fixation (LSF), posterior short‐segment fixation (SSF), and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). We retrospectively reviewed outcomes, including the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), visual analog scale (VAS) score, anterior height of affected vertebrae, kyphotic Cobb angle, and complications. Results All patients were followed up for 12–38 months. According to their radiographic appearance we could observe two main patterns of clefts. Pattern I, clefts that were found to be near to the endplate and connected with intervertebral space, the endplate was incomplete. Pattern II, IVC traversed to anterior edge of the vertebral body affected. Both were related to high risk of cement complications in minimal invasive treatments for KD. Good results have been achieved in LSF and SSF groups, the VAS, ODI, anterior height of affected vertebrae and kyphotic Cobb angle showed statistically significant differences between pre‐ and post‐operation and between pre‐ and final follow‐up (P < 0.05). In PKP group, although the VSA and ODI showed statistically significant differences between pre‐ and post‐operation and between pre‐ and final follow‐up (P < 0.05), we could observe that the VSA and ODI rebounded a little at the final follow‐up. Cement leakage into intervertebral space occurred in four (44.45%) patients of PKP group. Conclusions PKP should be chosen carefully if the IVC of the patient presents to be pattern I or II. LSF and SSF are safe and effective, and can achieve satisfactory correction of kyphosis and vertebral height, with pain relief and improvement in patient's daily life, with few complications.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Kümmell's disease (eponymous name for osteonecrosis and collapse of a vertebral body due to ischemia and non-union of anterior vertebral body wedge fractures after major trauma) cannot heal spontaneously. Bone-filling mesh container (BFMC) can significantly relieve pain, help the correction of kyphosis, and may prevent cement leakage. This pilot study may provide the basis for the design of future studies. PURPOSE To compare the effectiveness and safety of BFMC and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for treatment of Kümmell's disease. METHODS From August 2016 to May 2018, 40 patients with Kümmell's disease were admitted to Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital. Among them, 20 patients (20 vertebral bodies) received PKP (PKP group) and the other 20 received BFMC (BFMC group). Operation time, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Cobb's angle changes, and related complications were recorded. RESULTS All patients underwent operations successfully. VAS scores and ODI of both groups at each postoperative time point were lower than preoperatively, with statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). Postoperative Cobb's angle of both groups postoperatively was lower than preoperatively (p < 0.05). Cement leakage occurred in eight vertebrae (8/20) in the PKP group and in one vertebra (1/20) in the BFMC group. No complications such as pulmonary embolism, paraplegia, or perioperative death occurred during operation in both groups. Adjacent vertebral refractures occurred in five patients (5/20) in the PKP group and in four patients (4/20) in the BFMC group, with no significant difference in the incidence rate of refractures in both groups but the material is too small to verify statistically. CONCLUSIONS Both PKP and BFMC technologies can significantly relieve pain and help the correction of kyphosis while treating Kümmell's disease. Moreover, the BMFC may prevent cement leakage.
