Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures, Unilateral, Bilateral Percutaneous Kyphoplasty
Abstract
Back discomfort and a decline in quality of life are caused by osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF), which are frequent in elderly people with weak bones. In order to treat patients with osteoporotic spinal compression fractures, this examination aims to determine the effectiveness and risk of kyphoplasty. 18 patients with single-segment OVCFs who had percutaneous kyphoplasty at the Department of Spine Surgery were included in this retrospective analysis. They had a mean age of 75 years (range, 61-90 years), with 13 (72%) females and 5(28%) males. In 10 instances, with 7 women and 3 men, unilateral PKP had a mean age range of 61 to 87 years. There were 8 instances with bilateral PKP, with a mean age of 73.2 years (64-89 years) and 6 women and 2 men.T10, T11, T12, L1, L2 and L3are the fracture locations. Regarding gender, age, and fracture site, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). The volume of bone cement injected was 5.27±0.73 mL and 6.87±0.93 mL in the unilateral and bilateral puncture groups, respectively, with statistically significant differences between the two groups (P0.01). The operative time in the unilateral puncture group was 51.60±6.64 min which was significantly lower than that in the bilateral group (66.53±9.40min), which was statistically significant (P0.01). PKP is predicted to become a mainstream procedure for the treatment of OVCFs
