Effect of unilateral percutaneous kyphoplasty combined with hyperextension reduction in the treatment of fresh osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective:To compare the effect and clinical significance of unilateral and bilateral percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) combined with hyperextension reduction in the treatment of fresh osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF).Methods:The clinical data of OVCF patients treated in Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.A total of 62 patients were included.According to the surgical approach, 62 patients were divided into unilateral puncture approach group and bilateral puncture approach group, with 31 cases in each group.The patients in the unilateral puncture group were treated with limb hyperextension reduction combined with unilateral PKP.In the bilateral puncture approach group, limb hyperextension reduction combined with bilateral PKP was used.The changes of visual analogue pain scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), vertebral anterior height, vertebral midline height and Cobb angle were observed and compared before operation, 1 day and 2 weeks after operation.At the same time, the operation time, intraoperative fluoroscopy times, intraoperative bone cement injection and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results:The VAS scores of patients in the unilateral puncture approach group before operation, 1 day and 2 weeks after operation were (8.10±0.17), (2.20±0.26) and (1.90±0.39), respectively.The scores of bilateral puncture approach group were (8.10±0.13), (2.30±0.26) and (2.00±0.30), respectively.The results of repeated measurement ANOVA showed that F intra-group=13 790.444, P<0.001, F inter-group=1.951, P=0.168, F interaction=0.735, P=0.481.There were significant differences in VAS scores between the two groups 1 day and 2 weeks after operation (all P<0.05). There was significant difference in VAS score between the two groups 1 day after operation and 2 weeks after operation (all P<0.05). The ODI scores of patients in the unilateral puncture group before operation, 1 day and 2 weeks after operation were (40.30±5.30), (23.20±3.40), (22.30±4.49) points respectively, and those in the bilateral puncture group were (41.00±4.49), (21.90±2.48), (20.70±5.70) points, respectively.The results of repeated measurement ANOVA showed that F intra-group=339.046, P<0.001, F inter-group=1.385, P=0.244, F interaction=1.083, P=0.342.There were significant differences in ODI scores between the two groups 1 day and 2 weeks after operation (all P<0.05). There was significant difference in ODI score between the two groups 1 day after operation and 2 weeks after operation (all P<0.05). The anterior height of vertebral body in unilateral puncture group was (18.26±2.40), (21.97±1.17), (22.03±1.35) mm before operation, 1 day and 2 weeks after operation, and that in bilateral puncture group was (18.94±1.80), (22.06±2.79), (20.29±1.19) mm.The results of repeated measurement ANOVA showed that F intra-group=51.228, P<0.001, F inter-group=1.594, P=0.212, F interaction=6.452, P=0.002.There were significant differences in the anterior vertebral height between the two groups 1 day and 2 weeks after operation (all P<0.05). The height of vertebral midline in the unilateral puncture group was (17.97±2.14), (26.13±1.43), (26.00±1.79) mm before operation, 1 day and 2 weeks after operation, and in the bilateral puncture group was (18.84±1.77), (24.74±1.77), (24.68±2.06) mm.The results of repeated measurement ANOVA showed that F intra-group=358.837, P<0.001, F inter-group=3.850, P=0.054, F interaction=9.117, P<0.001.There were significant differences in the height of vertebral midline between the two groups 1 day and 2 weeks after operation (all P<0.05). The Cobb angles in the unilateral puncture group were (21.74±2.11)°, (11.77±1.91)° and (10.94±1.12)° before operation, 1 day and 2 weeks after operation, respectively, and in the bilateral puncture group were (22.13±2.50)° and (12.0±2.38)° and (11.71±1.37°, respectively.The results of repeated measurement ANOVA showed that F intra-group=674.732, P<0.001, F inter-group=1.975, P=0.165, F interaction=0.376, P=0.688.There were significant differences in Cobb angle between the two groups 1 day and 2 weeks after operation (all P<0.05). There were significant differences in operation time ((52.0±3.8) min and (67.0±6.7) min), intraoperative fluoroscopy times ((15.0±5.8) times and (32.0±6.1) times), and bone cement injection volume ((4.6±0.3) mL and (5.0±0.1) mL) between unilateral puncture approach group and bilateral puncture approach group (all P<0.001). Conclusion:Unilateral and bilateral PKP combined with hyperextension reduction can alleviate the pain of OVCF, restore the lost vertebral height and correct kyphosis.The unilateral puncture approach PKP combined with hyperextension reduction has the advantages of shorter operation time, concise operation process, fewer times of intraoperative fluoroscopy and less use of bone cement.
