ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To compare the clinical efficacy of pneumatic reduction combined with bone-filled mesh bag implantation and pneumatic reduction combined with kyphoplasty in the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fracture without spinal cord injury.@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 160 patients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic burst fracture without spinal cord injury treated from January 2014 to July 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 66 males and 94 females, aged from 72 to 84 years old with an average of 76.4 years old. The patients were divided into two groups according to different surgical methods, including 80 cases of pneumatic reduction combined with bone-filled mesh bag implantation(treatment group) and 80 cases of pneumatic reduction combined with kyphoplasty(control group). The intraoperative bone cement leakage rate was compared between two groups. The height of the injured vertebrae was measured by X-rays preoperatively and 6-month postoperatively in order to assess height loss of injured vertebrae. VAS score and ODI score were used for follow-up to assess lumbar back pain and autonomic dysfunction before surgery and 2 weeks, 6 months, 1 year after surgery.@*RESULTS@#In treatment group, 3 cases occurred bone cement leakage during operation and leakage rate was 3.75%(3/80); In control group, 14 cases had cement leakage with leakage rate of 17.5%; The difference between two groups was statistically significant(<0.05). All patients were followed up for 13 to 24 months with an average of 14.6 months. Among them, 2 cases occurred postoperative infections which were superficial infections. After oral antibiotics and outpatient treatment infections were controlled. At 6 months after surgery, the height of the injured vertebra was measured by X-ray. Treatment group recovered (5.12±1.31) % and control group recovered (14.11±1.17) %. The difference between two groups was statistically significant (<0.05). At 1 year after surgery, ODI score was 4.03±1.62 in treatment group and 10.03±1.54 in control group. The difference between two groups was statistically significant(<0.05). VAS score was 1.03±0.62 in treatment group and 2.67±0.55 in control group. The difference between groups was statistically significant(<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Extracorporeal pneumatic reduction combined with bone-filled mesh bag implantation technique can significantly reduce the occurrence of intraoperative cement leakage in the treatment of thoracolumbar osteoporotic burst fractures, effectively improve reposition of the injured vertebrae, relieve the pain and recover the function of lower back. However, high price of bone-filled mesh bags obstructs its clinical popularization.
