Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of percutaneous curved vertebroplasty and traditional vertebroplasty for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
Methods: 261 patients (300 vertebral fractures, T11-L5) were randomly divided to 3 groups: A groups were treated with percutaneous curved vertebroplasty (83 patients, 100 vertebral fractures), B groups were treated with traditional unipedicular percutaneous vertebroplasty (90 patients, 100 vertebral fractures), and C groups were treated with traditional bipedicular percutaneous vertebroplasty (88 patients, 100 vertebral fractures). Clinical data including clinical and radiological evaluation results were performed pre- and postoperatively.
Results: Compared with preoperative data, the VAS scores, Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores, and local kyphotic angle were improved with significant differences after surgery in three groups (P<0.05). However, there were no differences between the three groups (P>0.05). The local kyphotic angle correction rate was respectively (37.9±15.7)%, (38.55±14.89)% and (37.26±16.14)% in three groups with no statistic difference (P>0.05). There were no significant differences between the three groups in the leakage rate of bone cement (group A is 26.00%, group B is 18.00%, group C is 25.00%, P>0.05). The operation time of group A (18.29±4.68min) and group B (18.04±4.20min) were less than that of group C (26.2874±4.36min) with significantly difference(P<0.05). The cement volume of group A and C were respectively 8.27±3.21ml and 8.39±2.55ml with no difference (P>0.05). The cement volume of group B (4.40±1.62ml) was obviously less than that of the other two groups(P<0.05).
Conclusion: Both percutaneous curved vertebroplasty and traditional percutaneous vertobreplasty can effectively relieve the back pain. PCVP is superior in cement dispersion and the volume of bone cement to traditional unilateral puncture, and is superior in operation time and trauma to traditional bilateral puncture. PCVP is not superior in the leakage rate of bone cement.
