Risk factors for bone cement leakage and recompression of injured vertebrae after percutaneous kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture / 中华创伤杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of bone cement leakage and recompression of injured vertebrae after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF).Methods:A case-control study was performed to analyze the clinical data of 297 patients with single-segment OVCF who underwent PKP in First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2017 to January 2021, including 67 males and 230 females; aged 60-92 years [(69.5±8.2)years]. According to the occurrence of bone cement leakage, the patients were divided into leakage group ( n=36) and no leakage group ( n=261). According to the occurrence of recompression of injured vertebrae, the patients were divided into recollapse group ( n=40) and no recollapse group ( n=257). The gender, age, fracture segment, type of fracture, fracture severity, cortical disruption, intravertebral cleft, preoperative and postoperative local kyphosis angle, correction value of local kyphosis angle, bone cement injection volume, bone cement distribution, and postoperative anti-osteoporosis treatment were recorded. Univariate analysis was used to analyze the correlation of those factors with bone cement leakage and recompression of injured vertebrae after PKP, followed by multivariate Logistic regression analysis to identify the independent risk factors. Results:Univariate analysis showed that fracture severity, cortical disruption and bone cement injection volume were related to bone cement leakage ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Gender, age, fracture segment, type of fracture, intravertebral cleft, preoperative and postoperative local kyphosis angle, correction value of local kyphosis angle, bone cement distribution, and postoperative anti-osteoporosis treatment were not related to bone cement leakage (all P>0.05). Univariate analysis showed that intravertebral cleft, bone cement distribution, and postoperative anti-osteoporosis treatment were associated with recompression of injured vertebrae (all P<0.01). Gender, age, fracture segment, type of fracture, fracture severity, cortical disruption, preoperative and postoperative local kyphosis angle, correction value of local kyphosis angle, and bone cement injection volume were not related to recompression of injured vertebrae (all P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that severe fracture ( OR=4.23, 95% CI 1.52-11.81, P<0.01), cortical disruption ( OR=3.29,95% CI 1.52-7.13, P<0.01), and bone cement injection volume >8 ml ( OR=2.31,95% CI 1.09-4.92, P<0.05) were significantly related to bone cement leakage. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that intravertebral cleft ( OR=2.10, 95% CI 1.03-4.30, P<0.05), solid type of bone cement distribution ( OR=2.56, 95% CI 1.25-5.27, P<0.05) and no anti-osteoporosis treatment after operation ( OR=3.06, 95% CI 1.46-6.40, P<0.01) were significantly related to recompression of injured vertebrae. Conclusions:For OVCF patients, severe fracture, cortical disruption, and bone cement injection volume>8 ml are independent risk factors for bone cement leakage after PKP. Intravertebral cleft, solid type of bone cement distribution, and no anti-osteoporosis treatment after operation are independent risk factors for recompression of injured vertebrae after PKP.
