Purpose: Osteoporosis is an age-related systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone contents, with a consequent increase in bone fragility. In severe osteoporosis progressive collapse of multiple vertebrae is and unsolved problem. Medical treatment appears to be too slow to prevent the course. Recently, there are some reports on the results of the percutaneous vertebroplasty (VP) in treating the multi-level osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). we reviewed painful multi-level osteoporotic VCFs treated by percutaneous VP and assess the efficacy and safety of multiple percutaneous cement VP in the treatment of multi-level osteoporotic VCFs.
Material and Method: From January 2008 to August 2010, the clinical cases and radiographic records were reviewed retrospectively for 28 patients treated for the multi-level painful osteoporotic VCFs by percutaneous cement VP. Initially radiography and MRI of the spine were performed. Spine radiographs were repeated at post-operation, 1,3 months and final follow-up. The patient’s outcomes of demographic, clinical, radiologic and procedural data were analyzed and assessed using self-report and physiological measures. A t-test was used for means of VAS, anterior vertebral height and kyphotic angle. Statistical analysis was performed with the SPSS(Version 15.0.1, Chicago, Illinois). The p-values of < 0.001 were deemed significant.
Results: The back pain recorded using the VAS improved significantly in all cases, from 7.7±1.0(6-10), points preoperatively to 2.0±0.7(1-3) points postoperatively (p<0.001) and then 2.8±0.8(1-4) points at the follow-up (p<0.001). The anterior heights increased from 17.40±4.98 to 21.02±5.36 after VP procedures (p<0.001) and finally 19.49±5.28 (p<0.001). The kyphotic angle was 12.58º preoperatively and improved to 4.39º postoperatively, but kyphotic deformities became worse in 12.80º.
Conclusion: The vertebroplasty for patients with multiple osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures may improve pain and can be effective for preventing adjacent fractures, restoration of vertebral height and maintenance of sagittal alignment. Patients with multiple osteoporotic compression fractures have many comorbidity, the surgeon should be conscious to all procedure.
