Abstract
Der Zementaustritt ist die häufigste Komplikation bei der Zementaugmentation von Wirbelkörpern. In der vorliegenden Studie wurden die Zementaustrittsraten bei Zementaugmentationen an der Wirbelsäule untersucht und potenzielle Risikofaktoren für einen Zementaustritt identifiziert.Es wurden 140 Fälle von 131 Patienten und Patientinnen und 9 Verstorbenen ausgewertet. Insgesamt wurden 258 zementaugmentierte Wirbelkörper untersucht. Die Daten dafür stammen aus den Krankenhausdokumentationen von 131 Patienten und Patientinnen, die sich in 2 orthopädisch-unfallchirurgischen Kliniken in der BRD solchen Operationen unterzogen, sowie aus den Untersuchungen von 9 Sterbefällen im Institut für Rechtsmedizin der Universitätsklinikums Hamburg-Eppendorf.Zementaustritte wurden in 64 der 140 Fälle (45,7%) ermittelt. Lokale Zementaustritte waren mit 73,4% (n = 47) die häufigste Austrittsart. Venöse Austritte wurden in 15 Fällen (23,4%) und Lungenzementembolisationen in 2 Fällen (3,1%) evaluiert. Innerhalb des Kollektivs der retrospektiv untersuchten Fälle (n = 131) erlitt lediglich 1 Patient (0,8%) einen symptomatischen Zementaustritt. Als Risikofaktoren für Zementaustritte konnten Zementaugmentationen von Frakturen an Lendenwirbelkörpern sowie eine hohe applizierte Zementmenge identifiziert werden.Sowohl die Daten in der assoziierten Literatur als auch die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit belegen eine hohe Inzidenz von Zementaustritten nach Wirbelkörperaugmentationen. Trotz des geringen prozentualen Anteils symptomatischer Fälle sollten bei der Planung und Durchführung von Zementaugmentationen an Wirbelkörpern die möglichen Einflussfaktoren für einen Zementaustritt berücksichtigt und in die OP-Planung einbezogen werden.

Safety and clinical efficacy of modified tracer fixation technique in orthopedic robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty for Kümmell's disease. J Robot Surg 2025; 19:39. [PMID: 39752034 DOI: 10.1007/s11701-024-02169-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2024] [Accepted: 11/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/04/2025]
Abstract
The rising incidence of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) has increased the demand for precise treatments like robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), especially for conditions like Kümmell's disease that require high surgical accuracy. However, the traditional tracer fixation method has certain limitations. This study aimed to compare the safety and clinical efficacy of a modified tracer fixation technique with the traditional fixation method in robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for Kümmell's disease. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 88 patients treated between April 2023 and January 2024. The patients were divided into two groups based on the tracer fixation method: the modified group (skin-fixed, 47 cases) and the traditional group (spinous process-fixed, 41 cases). Outcomes were measured by VAS, ODI, Cobb angle, working channel establishment time, surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative fluoroscopy dose, and complication rates. Both groups showed significant improvements in VAS, ODI, and Cobb angle at postoperative days 2 and 6 months (P < 0.05). The modified group had significantly lower VAS and ODI scores on postoperative days 2, shorter working channel establishment and surgical duration, and less intraoperative blood loss (P < 0.05). However, no significant differences were found in intraoperative fluoroscopy dose or complication rates (P > 0.05). In conclusion, while both techniques are safe and effective, the modified skin-fixed tracer technique offers advantages in reducing surgical trauma, significantly shortening the surgical duration, decreasing intraoperative blood loss, and promoting early recovery.

Percutaneous Mesh-Container-Plasty versus Percutaneous Kyphoplasty in the Treatment of Osteoporotic Compression Fractures with Up-Endplate Injury: A Retrospective Study. World Neurosurg 2025; 193:1028-1035. [PMID: 39374803 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2024.09.142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2024] [Accepted: 09/29/2024] [Indexed: 10/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous mesh-container-plasty (PMCP), a modified traditional percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) technique, is increasingly being used to treat osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures with up-endplate injury. This retrospective study aimed to compare the clinical and radiological results of PKP and PMCP for the treatment of this disease. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients with osteoporotic compression fractures and upper endplate injuries treated at our hospital between January 2019 and December 2021. A total of 192 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled. Of these, 103 underwent PKP and 89 underwent PMCP. Key outcome measures included surgical safety, clinical efficacy, and radiological results. RESULTS Both the PKP and PMCP groups showed significant improvements in visual analog scale and Oswestry Disability Index scores postoperatively. Additionally, anterior vertebral body height ratio and Cobb's angle improved in both groups, though no statistically significant difference was observed between them. The hospital stay duration was similar between the 2 cohorts. Notably, the PMCP group required a larger volume of bone cement injection yet exhibited a significantly lower incidence of cement leakage and adjacent vertebral fractures (9/89 and 2/89, respectively) compared to the PKP group (24/103 and 11/103, respectively) (P < 0.05). Moreover, the PMCP group had shorter operation times (34.64 ± 9.88 minutes) and reduced fluoroscopy frequency (35.43 ± 5.46 instances) compared to the PKP group (27.23 ± 8.54 minutes and 23.87 ± 5.59 instances, respectively) (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS PMCP provided superior clinical outcomes for the management of osteoporotic compression fractures with upper endplate injuries. It was associated with reduced operation and fluoroscopy times, as well as lower risks of adjacent vertebral fractures and cement leakage, compared to PKP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study analyzes the safety and efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) treatments for Stage III Kummell's disease without neurological symptoms, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of these two minimally invasive surgical methods. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 53 patients with non-neurological Stage III Kummell's disease treated with PVP and PKP at our hospital from December 2018 to January 2023. Patients were divided into PVP (25 cases) and PKP (28 cases) groups based on the surgical method. There were no significant differences in general preoperative data between the two groups (all p > 0.05), ensuring comparability. The study compared surgical duration, volume of bone cement injected, distribution pattern of bone cement, rate of bone cement leakage, and preoperative, postoperative, and final follow-up scores of Visual analogue scale(VAS) and Oswestry disability index(ODI). Additionally, relative anterior height of the injured vertebrae, and Cobb angle of deformity, along with their changes at preoperative, postoperative, and final follow-up stages were calculated and analyzed. RESULTS No significant preoperative differences were observed between the groups (p > 0.05). The PKP group had longer surgeries, higher cement volumes (p < 0.001), and lower leakage rates (p < 0.05), with primarily chunky cement distributions versus mixed distributions in the PVP group. No complications other than cement leakage occurred. VAS and ODI scores showed no significant changes at various time points (p > 0.05) but improved significantly from preoperative (p < 0.001). Both groups saw improved vertebral heights and Cobb angles post-surgery (p < 0.05), with more significant improvements in the PKP group (p < 0.05). Over time, both groups experienced gradual vertebral height loss and increased Cobb angles, more pronounced in the PKP group (p < 0.05). At the final follow-up, there were no statistical differences in vertebral height and Cobb angle between the two groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The study evaluates the safety and efficacy of PVP and PKP for Stage III Kummell's disease without neurological symptoms, comparing the merits of both minimally invasive techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical methods for patients with osteoporotic fracture vertebral collapse complicated with neurological dysfunction are still a topic of debate. We designed an improved osteotomy for the treatment of osteoporotic compression fracture patients with neurological dysfunction. Compared with traditional osteotomy methods such as pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) and bone-disc-bone osteotomy (BDBO), the osteotomy range is reduced. Therefore, we use a finite element method to analyze the biomechanical conditions of these three osteotomy methods and provide a mechanical theoretical basis for the surgical treatment of these three osteotomy methods. METHODS Based on the CT scan of a patient with L1 osteoporotic fracture vertebral collapse and neurological dysfunction, the finite element model was constructed by importing Mimics software, and three different osteotomy models were established. The forces and displacements of internal fixation device, T1-L5 whole segment, T10 vertebral body, and T10/11 intervertebral disc were recorded under different working conditions. RESULTS The displacement levels of internal fixation device, T1-L5 spine, T10 vertebral body, and T10/11 intervertebral disc in the modified osteotomy group were between BDBO group and PSO group. The stress in BDBO group was concentrated in titanium mesh and its maximum stress was much higher than that in PSO group and modified osteotomy group. The mechanical distribution of T10/11 intervertebral disc showed that the maximum stress distribution of the three osteotomy methods was similar. CONCLUSION The relatively simple modified osteotomy has certain advantages in stress and displacement. In contrast, the stability of BDBO group was poor, especially in the lumbar intervertebral disc and lumbar body. For this type of osteotomy patients, it is recommended to avoid postoperative flexion so as not to increase the load.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous pedicle screw fixation combined with bone cement augmentation in the management of stage III Kümmell disease without nerve deformity. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 17 patients diagnosed with stage III Kümmell disease without nerve deformity, who underwent treatment with percutaneous pedicle screw fixation combined with bone cement augmentation between April 2019 and 2022. Preoperative, postoperative, and final follow-up clinical outcome measures were collected, including Visual Analog Scale scores and Oswestry Disability Index scores. Additionally, lateral radiography was used to measure the Cobb angle and height of the anterior border of the affected vertebral body. Operative time, volume of injected bone cement, intraoperative cement leakage, and other complications were recorded. All patients underwent successful surgery, resulting in significant reductions in Visual Analog Scale scores, Oswestry Disability Index scores, and Cobb angle postoperatively; meanwhile there was a significant increase in height of the anterior border of the affected vertebral body. No major complications occurred during the follow-up period. In conclusion, percutaneous pedicle screw short-segment fixation combined with bone cement augmentation appears to be an effective surgical option for treating stage III Kümmell disease without nerve deformities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The risk of osteoporotic vertebral collapse (OVC) associated with delayed neurological dysfunction (DND) is substantial, and performing surgery for this condition in elderly patients presents challenges. The focus of the current research is on simplifying surgical procedures while maintaining their effectiveness. This study was designed to contribute clinical data supporting the use of modified posterior osteotomy for treating thoracolumbar OVC with DND. The study compares perioperative clinical parameters, imaging data characteristics, and changes in efficacy outcome indicators to provide evidence for the advancement of this technique. METHODS A total of 12 patients diagnosed with osteoporotic vertebral collapse and neurological dysfunction were included in the study. All patients underwent modified posterior osteotomy. Data regarding perioperative and radiological parameters as well as complications such as surgery duration, blood loss, ASIA grade, VAS, ODI, regional kyphosis angle (RKA), anterior vertebral height ratio (AVHr), and spinal canal clearance ratio (SCCr), were collected retrospectively. These parameters were then analysed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the modified posterior osteotomy technique. RESULTS A total of 12 patients were included in the study, with a mean age of 65.5 ± 9.7 years. The average follow-up period was 29.4 ± 5.0 months. The mean operative blood loss was 483.3 ± 142.0 ml, and the average operative time was 3.7 ± 0.7 h. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score decreased from a preoperative value of 5.8 ± 0.7 to a final follow-up value of 1.3 ± 0.8 (P < 0.05), indicating a significant improvement in pain. The ODI decreased from 65.2 ± 6.0 before surgery to 20.5 ± 7.0, indicating a decrease in disability, and the postoperative neurological function showed a significant improvement. Correction of the RKA was observed, with the angle changing from 35.8 ± 10.8° before surgery to 20.0 ± 3.5° after surgery and to 22.5 ± 3.1° at the final follow-up. Similarly, correction of the AVHr was observed, with the height changing from 39.3 ± 18.0 to 63.0 ± 14.3 after surgery and to 53.9 ± 8.9 at the final follow-up. Correction of the SCCr was also observed, with the ratio changing from 54.9 ± 5.4 to 68.1 ± 5.3 after surgery and to 68.68 ± 6.76 at the final follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Posterior modified osteotomy is an effective treatment for thoracolumbar osteoporotic fractures with OVC combined with DND. It can significantly preserve vertebral height, increase vertebral canal volume, correct kyphotic angle, and improve postoperative neurological function. The simplified osteotomy also offers advantages in terms of operating time, blood loss, postoperative VAS score, and improvement in lumbar function.

Abstract
Background and objective: Treatment of Kümmel's Disease (KD) with pure percutaneous kyphoplasty carries a greater likelihood of bone cement displacement due to hardened bone and defect of the peripheral cortex. In this study, we designed a novel minimally invasive pedicle bone cement screw and evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this modified surgical instruments in porcine vertebrae. Methods: 18 mature porcine spine specimens were obtained and soaked in 10% formaldehyde solution for 24 h. 0.5000 mmol/L EDTA-Na2 solution was used to develop in vitro osteoporosis models of porcine vertebrae. They were all made with the bone deficiency at the anterior edge of L1. These specimens were randomly divided into 3 groups for different ways of treatment: Group A: pure percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) group; Group B: unilateral novel minimally invasive pedicle bone cement screw fixation combined with PKP group; Group C: bilateral novel minimally invasive pedicle bone cement screw fixation combined with PKP group. The MTS multi-degree of freedom simulation test system was used for biomechanical tests, including axial loading of 500 N pressure, range of motion (ROM) in flexion, extension, left/right lateral bending, and left/right axial rotation at 5 Nm, and the displacement of bone cement mass at maximum angles of 5° and 10°. Result: The three groups were well filled with bone cement, no leakage or displacement of bone cement was observed, and the height of the vertebrae was higher than pre-operation (p < 0.05). In the left/right axial rotation, the specimens were still significantly different (p < 0.05) from the intact specimens in terms of ROM after PKP. In other directions, ROM of all group had no significant difference (p < 0.05) and was close to the intact vertebrae. Compared with PKP group, the relative displacement of bone cement in groups B and C was smaller (p < 0.05). Conclusion: In the in vitro animal vertebral models, the treatment of KD with the placement of novel pedicle minimally invasive bone cement screw combined with PKP can effectively restore the vertebral height, improve the stability of the affected vertebra and prevent the displacement of bone cement. Biomechanically, there is no significant difference between bilateral and unilateral fixation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to develop a prediction model to assess the risk of adjacent vertebral compression fractures (AVCFs) after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) surgery. DESIGN A retrospective chart review. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Patients were collected from the Quzhou People's Hospital, from March 2017 to May 2019. Patients were included if they suffered from osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs), underwent PKP surgery and were followed up for 2 years. INTERVENTIONS None. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of all PKP surgery procedures of the thoracic, lumbar and thoracolumbar (TL) spine that have been performed for OVCF from 1 March 2017 up to 1 May 2019. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model was used to optimise feature selection for the AVCF risk model. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was applied to build a predicting model incorporating the feature selected in the LASSO regression model. The C-index, calibration plot and decision curve analysis were applied to assess this model. RESULTS Gender, age, the number of surgical vertebrae, cement volume, bone mineral density, diabetes, hypertension, bone cement leakage, duration of anti-osteoporosis treatment after surgery and TL junction were identified as predictors. The model displayed good discrimination with a C-index of 0.886 (95% CI 0.828-0.944) and good calibration. High C-index value of 0.833 could still be reached in the interval validation. Decision curve analysis showed that the AVCF nomogram was clinically useful when intervention was decided at the AVCF possibility threshold of 1%. CONCLUSIONS This study developed a clinical prediction model to identify the risk factors for AVCF after PKP surgery, and this tool is of great value in sharing surgical decision-making among patients consulted before surgery.

Li Y, Qian Y, Shen G, Tang C, Zhong X, He S. Percutaneous mesh-container-plasty versus percutaneous kyphoplasty for the treatment of Kümmell's disease: a retrospective cohort study. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:260. [PMID: 36998039 PMCID: PMC10061694 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-03753-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 04/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Both percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and percutaneous mesh-container-plasty (PMCP) were important procedures for the treatment of Kümmell's disease. This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiological results of PKP and PMCP for the treatment of Kümmell's disease. METHODS This study included patients with Kümmell's disease treated at our center between January 2016 and December 2019. A total of 256 patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical treatment they received. Clinical, radiological, epidemiological, and surgical data were compared between the two groups. Cement leakage, height restoration, deformity correction, and distribution were evaluated. The visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and short-form 36 health survey domains "role-physical" (SF-36 rp) and "bodily pain" (SF-36 bp) were calculated preoperatively, immediately after surgery, and 1-year postoperatively. RESULTS The VAS and ODI scores improved in the PKP [preoperative: 6 (6-7), 68.75 ± 6.64; postoperative: 2 (2-3), 23.25 ± 3.50, respectively] (p < 0.05) and the PMCP [preoperative: 6 (5-7), 67.70 ± 6.50; postoperative: 2 (2-2), 22.24 ± 3.55, respectively] groups (p < 0.05). There were significant differences between the two groups. The mean cost in the PKP group was lower than that in the PMCP group (3697 ± 461 vs. 5255 ± 262 USD, p < 0.05). The cement distribution in the PMCP group was significantly higher than that in the PKP group (41.81 ± 8.82% vs. 33.65 ± 9.24%, p < 0.001). Cement leakage was lower in the PMCP group (23/134) than in the PKP group (35/122) (p < 0.05). The anterior vertebral body height ratio (AVBHr) and Cobb's angle improved in the PKP (preoperative: 70.85 ± 16.62% and 17.29 ± 9.78°; postoperative: 80.28 ± 13.02% and 13.05 ± 8.40°, respectively) and PMCP (preoperative: 70.96 ± 18.01% and 17.01 ± 10.53°; postoperative: 84.81 ± 12.96% and 10.76 ± 9.23°, respectively) groups (p < 0.05). There were significant differences in vertebral body height recovery and segmental kyphosis improvement between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS PMCP had advantages over PKP in terms of pain relief and functional recovery for the treatment of Kümmell's disease. Moreover, PMCP is more effective than PKP in preventing cement leakage, increasing cement distribution, and improving vertebral height and segmental kyphosis, despite its higher cost.

Abstract
Background Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP), and bone-filling mesh containers(BFC) are three viable minimally invasive techniques that have been used to treat Kümmell's disease(KD). However, there is still debate as to which is safer and more effective. This study summarized the pros and cons of the three techniques in the treatment of KD through network meta-analysis(NMA). Methods All eligible published clinical control studies comparing PVP, PKP, and BFC for KD up to December 2021 were collected by online search of Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang Database, and Chinese biomedical literature database. Data were extracted after screening, and Stata 16.0 software was used to perform the network meta-analysis. Results Four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 16 retrospective case-control studies (CCTs) with a total of 1114 patients were included. The NMA results showed no statistical difference between the 3 procedures in terms of improving patients' clinical symptoms. PKP was most likely to be the most effective in correcting kyphosis, while BFC was likely to be the most effective in managing the occurrence of cement leakage. No statistical differences were found in the incidence of new vertebral fractures in adjacent segments. Conclusions Ranking analysis showed that BFC has the highest likelihood of being the optimal procedure for the treatment of KD, based on a combined assessment of effectiveness in improving patients' symptoms and safety in the occurrence of adverse events.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the relationship between distribution of bone cement and intravertebral cleft of patients with Kummell disease on the clinical effect of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). METHODS According to the relationship between the distribution of bone cement and the cleft in the vertebrae, a total of 92 patients with Kummell disease who underwent PKP in our hospital were divided into 2 groups. Specifically, the bone cement of patients in group A was localized in the cleft of the vertebrae and did not infiltrate around the cleft, while that of group B patients not only filled the cleft of the vertebrae, but also distributed diffusely around the cleft of the vertebrae. The amount of bone cement injected, leakage rate, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and vertebral imaging changes before operation, and 2 days and 1 year after operation were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS The amount of bone cement injected and the permeability of bone cement in group B were higher than those in group A (P < 0.05). The scores of VAS and ODI in both groups were significantly improved after operation, but the two scores in group B were better than those in group A one year after operation. The height of anterior vertebral body and Cobb's angle of kyphosis in the 2 groups were significantly improved after operation, but 1 year after operation, those in group B were better than those in group A. CONCLUSIONS PKP was an effective method for treating Kummell disease. At the same time, the relationship between the distribution of bone cement and the cleft in the vertebral body was an important factor affecting the curative effect after PKP. The effect of the distribution pattern of bone cement filled with intravertebral cleft and diffusely distributed around the fissures was better than that of bone cement confined in the vertebral cleft.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. OBJECTIVE Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) are minimally invasive techniques widely used for the treatment of neurologically intact osteoporotic Kümmell's disease (KD), but which treatment is preferable remains controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to shed light on this issue. METHODS Six databases were searched for all relevant studies based on the PRISMA guidelines. Two investigators independently conducted a quality assessment, extracted the data and performed all statistical analyses. RESULTS Eight studies encompassing 438 neurologically intact osteoporotic KD patients met the inclusion criteria. Compared to PVP, PKP was associated with greater improvement in the short- and long-term Cobb angle [SMD = -0.37, P = 0.007; SMD = -0.34, P = 0.012], short-term anterior vertebral height [SMD = 0.43, P = 0.003] and long-term middle vertebral height [SMD = 0.57, P = 0.012] and a lower cement leakage rate [SMD = 0.50, P = 0.003] but produced more consumption (cement injection volume, operative time, fluoroscopy times, intraoperative blood loss and operation cost). However, there were no differences between the 2 procedures in the short- and long-term VAS and ODI scores, long-term anterior vertebral height, overall complications or new vertebral fractures. CONCLUSIONS Both procedures are equally effective for neurologically intact KD in terms of the clinical outcomes, with the exception of a lower cement leakage risk and better radiographic improvement for PKP but greater resource consumption. Based on the evidence available, good clinical judgment should be exercised in the selection of patients for these procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Up to now in the surgical treatment of Kümmell's disease combined with thoracolumbar kyphosis, little research has focused on the evaluation of the imaging and clinical outcomes of restoring the normal alignment and sagittal balance of the spine. This study aimed to evaluate the short to mid-term radiographic and clinical outcomes in the treatment of Kümmell's disease with thoracolumbar kyphosis. METHODS From February 2016 to May 2018, 30 cases of Kümmell's disease with thoracolumbar kyphosis were divided into group A and B according to whether the kyphosis was combined with neurological deficits. All of the cases underwent surgical treatment to regain the normal spinal alignment and sagittal balance. The radiographic outcomes and clinical outcomes of the cases were retrospectively evaluated. The sagittal imaging parameters including sagittal vertebral axis (SVA),thoracic kyphosis (TK),thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK),lumbar lordosis (LL),pelvic incidence (PI),pelvic tilt (PT),and sacral slope (SS) before operation,immediately after operation,and the last follow-up of each case were measured and evaluated. The clinical results included the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) of the two groups. Statistical software SPSS21.0 was used to analyze the data. RESULTS In group A: Mean SVA before operation was 75 mm and 26.7 mm at the final postoperative evaluation (P = 0.000); Mean TLK before operation was 39°, and 7.1° at the final postoperative evaluation (P = 0.000); Mean NRS before operation was 4.7, compared with 0.9 at the final postoperative evaluation (P = 0.000). In group B: Mean preoperative SVA was 62.5 mm and decreases to 30.7 mm at the final postoperative evaluation (P = 0.000); Mean TLK before operation was 33°, and 9.7° 2 years post-operation (P = 0.000); Mean NRS prior to surgery was 4.0, and 0.8 at the last follow-up evaluation (P = 0.000). The improvement of the NRS scores of groups A and B was related to the improvement of the cobb angle (P = 0.020); (P = 0.009) respectively. CONCLUSION In the treatment of Kümmell's disease with thoracolumbar kyphosis,to restore the normal alignment and sagittal balance can obtain a satisfactory radiographic and clinical short and medium-term effects.

Abstract
This narrative review provides the outcomes of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and describes the available conservative treatment options for patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) that have risk factors for Kummell's disease (KD). It aims to explore the evidence, emphasize the possible therapy complications, and aims to propose the most efficient clinical strategies for maintaining a good overall condition of individuals who may suffer from neurological deficits from a late-diagnosed OVCF complication. The secondary objective is to sum up the diagnostic particularities concerning individuals prone to OVCFs and KD, as the major risk factor for developing these severe conditions remains osteoporosis. Findings of our narrative review are based on the results found in PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar from the beginning of their inception to December 2020, described independently by two authors. All of the studies included in the review focus on reporting the following treatment methods: conservative methods, vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, targeted percutaneous vertebroplasty, frontal and side-opening cannula vertebroplasty, SpineJack, bone-feeling mesh container treatment, and the difference in the cement viscosity used (high vs. low) and the approach used (unilateral vs. bilateral). The comparison of randomized control trials (RCTs) as well as prospective and retrospective case series showed a comparable efficacy of kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty, and described cement-augmented screw fixation and the SpineJack system as effective and safe. Although it should be noted that several studies revealed inconsistent results in regards to the efficacy of using back braces and analgesics in patients who had vertebral fractures that were overlooked or not enrolled in any active surveillance program to track the patient's deterioration immediately. Nevertheless there are non-standardized guidelines for treating patients with OVCFs and their complications already established. Using these guidelines, a treatment plan can be planned that takes into consideration the patients' comorbidities and susceptibilities. However, the primary approach remains the management of osteoporosis and that is why prophylaxis and prevention play a crucial role. These measures reduce the risk of disease progression. Unfortunately, in the majority of cases these measures are not taken into account and KD develops.

Abstract
To investigate the clinical results of treating Kummell's Disease by using mineralized collagen modified polymethyl methacrylate bone cement, 23 cases (23 vertebras) who sustained Kummell's Disease treated with mineralized collagen modified polymethyl methacrylate bone cement from July 2017 to February 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. The visual analogue scale, vertebral body height, Cobb angle, CT values pre-operation and post-operation as well as incidence of complications were observed. All the patients were successfully followed up with an average period of 11.3 months (ranging from 6 to 12 months). The patients could ambulate on the second day after the operation. The visual analogue scale scores significantly decreased from two days after the operation to the last follow-up compared with that before the operation (p < 0.05); the average vertebral height and local Cobb angle had significant recovery (p < 0.05); the CT value of the treated vertebra significantly increased compared with that before the operation (p < 0.05). Bone cement leakage occurred in one case, anterior edge leakage occurred in one case, and no clinical symptoms caused by bone cement leakage occurred. No re-fracture of the treated vertebral body or adjacent vertebral bodies were observed in the follow-ups. With good osteogenic activity and degradable absorption characteristics, mineralized collagen was compounded with the existing polymethyl methacrylate bone cement to reduce its strength in the vertebral body and enhance biocompatibility, the incidence of adjacent vertebral fractures and re-fractures within the injured vertebrae is significantly reduced, and good clinical results are obtained, which is worthy of popularization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of Vesselplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in treatment of Kümmell disease. METHODS Between January 2015 and December 2018, 63 patients with Kümmell disease were treated. Among them, 28 cases were treated with Vesselplasty (Vesselplasty group) and 35 cases were treated with PKP (PKP group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, disease duration, bone mineral density (T value), fracture distribution, and preoperative pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), anterior height of injured vertebrae, and kyphosis Cobb angle between the two groups ( P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative fluoroscopy time, bone cement injection volume, the leakage rate of bone cement, the diffusion area ratio of bone cement, and the complications of the two groups were recorded. VAS score, ODI, anterior height of injured vertebrae, and kyphosis Cobb angle were compared between the two groups before operation and at 1 day after operation and last follow-up. RESULTS All patients of the two groups were followed up 12-36 months, with an average of 24.2 months. The operation time, intraoperative fluoroscopy time, bone cement injection volume, and diffusion area ratio of bone cement were significantly lower in the Vesselplasty group than in the PKP group ( P<0.05). The leakage rate of bone cement was significantly lower in the Vesselplasty group (7.14%) than in the PKP group (34.29%) ( χ 2=5.153, P=0.023). At 1 day after operation and last follow-up, the VAS score, ODI, anterior height of injured vertebrae, and kyphosis Cobb angle of the two groups were superior to those before operation ( P<0.05), and no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). During the follow-up, there was no re-collapse of vertebrae, and the adjacent vertebrae fracture occurred in 2 cases of the Vesselplasty group and 5 cases of PKP group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adjacent vertebrae fracture between the Vesselplasty group (7.14%) and the PKP group (14.29%) ( χ 2=0.243, P=0.622). CONCLUSION Vesselplasty and PKP have similar effectiveness in the treatment of Kümmell disease. They can effectively relieve the pain symptoms, improve the quality of life, partially restore the height of injured vertebrae, and correct kyphosis. But the Vesselplasty has the advantages of shorter operation time, less intraoperative fluoroscopy time, and less bone cement leakage.
