Clinical effect of low molecular weight heparin calcium combined with vertebroplasty in osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures in elderly patients / 中国生化药物杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and value of low molecular weight heparin calcium combined with vertebroplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures in elderly patients .Methods 67 elderly patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures in our hospital from January 2013 to January 2016 were selected and randomly divided into control group 30 cases and treatment group 37 cases. All patients were treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty, the control group was given calcium carbonate D3 conventional treatment, the treatment group was treated with low molecular weight heparin calcium anti osteoporosis treatment, the course of treatment was one month.Measurement of bone mineral density before and after the operation of different follow-up time points ( BMD ) and the changes of the oswestry disability index ( ODI ) evaluation activities and the visual analogue scale (VAS) to assess the degree of pain, and the changes of vertebral height before and after operation were analyzed. Results All patients were followed up for an average of 16.4 months (12 to 21 months).Compared with before vertebroplasty, the BMD of the patients in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group at one month, three months and six months, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), the low molecular weight heparin treatment after January, treatment group VAS and ODI scores were significantly lower than the control group, and the subsequent different follow-up time points ODI and VAS score can effectively maintain, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) .Compared with before vertebroplasty, postoperative anterior vertebral height, middle height better than preoperative vertebral height, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), and after one months of treatment, the treatment group of anterior vertebral height, middle height were better than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05).Conclusion After treatment with low molecular weight heparin calcium, the healing process of vertebral body after vertebroplasty, to a certain extent, it can increase the bone mass and prevent bone destruction, increase bone strength, and further achieve the treatment of osteoporosis and prevention of osteoporotic fracture in elderly patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
