THE RESULTS OF VERTEBROPLASTY IN OSTEOPOROTIC COMPRESSION FRACTURE (A MODIFIED TECHNIQUE)
View through CrossRef
Objective:
To evaluate the results and functional outcomees of vertebroplasty in osteoprotic vertebral fractures
Methods:
72 patients with osteoporotic compression fracture and spinal deformity with chronic invalidating pain treated by Percutaneous Vertebroplasty were followed for a maximum period of 2.8 years with an average of 1.3 years. The results were assessed by deformity correction, pain improvement and correction of stature.
Results:
The mean pre-procedure VAS score was 8.9±1.1 which decreased significantly (P<0.00l) to 4.7±2.4 within 1 month of Percutaneous Vertebroplasty and to 2.3±1.3 after 6 months (P<0.001) which is highly significant. The mean increase in anterior vertebral height after Percutaneous Vertebroplasty was 2.8 mm (range 1 to 11mm) after the procedure (P<0.00l) which was statistically significant.
Conclusion:
Vertebroplasty is extremely useful procedure in the management of complication of vertebra] compression fracture including severe pain and vertebral deformity.
