Abstract
The evolution of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) based bone cement (BC) from plexiglass to a biomaterial has revolutionized the joint and vertebral arthroplasties field. This widely used grouting material possesses exceptional properties for medical applications, including excellent biocompatibility, impressive mechanical strength, and favorable handling characteristics. PMMA-based BC is preferred in challenging conditions such as osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, scoliosis, vertebral hemangiomas, spinal metastases, and myelomas, where it is crucial in withstanding stress. This review aims to comprehensively analyze the available reports and guide further research toward enhanced formulations of vertebral BC, focusing on its osteoconductive and mechanical properties. Furthermore, the review emphasizes the significant impact of BC's mechanical properties and osteoconductivity on the success and longevity of vertebroplasty procedures.

Analysis on the Effect of Different Surgical Methods on the Treatment of Senile Osteoporotic Spinal Compression Fractures and the Influencing Factors of Complications. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2021; 2021:1599470. [PMID: 34512771 PMCID: PMC8426060 DOI: 10.1155/2021/1599470] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2021] [Accepted: 08/20/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Osteoporotic fractures are a common type of fractures in the elderly, among which spinal compression fractures are more common. After the occurrence of fractures, due to the compression and burst of the vertebral body, this will lead to local kyphosis deformity and even affect the balance of the sagittal spine. In the past, conservative treatments were used for osteoporotic spinal compression fractures. Although it can relieve pain symptoms, it can easily lead to complications such as aggravation of osteoporosis and deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities. At present, percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) are the main clinical surgical treatments, both of which are minimally invasive surgery, short operation time, effective pain relief, and rapid postoperative recovery. Although both of them are effective, there is still controversy over the efficacy of both in the treatment of osteoporotic spinal compression fractures. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of PVP and PKP in the treatment of elderly osteoporotic spinal compression fractures and to analyze the related factors that affect the occurrence of postoperative complications. The results show that both PVP and PKP can effectively improve the pain and dysfunction of elderly patients with osteoporotic spinal compression fracture, restoration of vertebral height, and correct kyphosis, but PKP has better effect and higher safety and is worth promoting. Postoperative complications of patients are related to their age, bone mineral density, use of hormones, and antiosteoporosis treatment.

A retrospective comparison of organ dose and effective dose in percutaneous vertebroplasty performed under CT guidance or using a fixed C-arm with a flat-panel detector. Phys Med 2021; 88:235-241. [PMID: 34311161 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmp.2021.07.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2021] [Revised: 07/02/2021] [Accepted: 07/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the organ-dose and effective-dose (E) delivered to the patient during percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) of one thoracic or lumbar vertebra performed under CT guidance or using a fixed C-arm. METHODS Consecutive adult patients undergoing PVP of one vertebra under CT-guidance, with optimized protocol and training of physicians, or using a fixed C-arm were retrospectively included from January 2016 to June 2017. Organ-doses were computed on 16 organs using CT Expo 2.4 software for the CT procedures and PCXMC 2.0 for the fixed C-arm procedures. E was also computed with both software. Dosimetric values per anatomic locations for all procedures were compared using the paired Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test. RESULTS In total, 73 patients were analysed (27 men and 46 women, mean age 78 ± 10 years) among whom 35 (48%) underwent PVP under CT guidance and 38 (52%) PVP using a fixed C-arm. The median E was 11.31 [6.54; 15.82] mSv for all PVPs performed under CT guidance and 5.58 [3.33; 8.71] mSv for fixed C-arm and the differences was significant (p<0.001). For lumbar PVP, the organ doses of stomach, liver and colon were significantly higher with CT-scan than with the fixed C-arm: 97% (p=0.02); 21% (p=0.099) and 375% (p=0.002), respectively. For thoracic PVP, the lung organ dose was significantly higher with CT-scan than with the fixed C-arm (127%; p<0.001) and the oesophagus organ doses were not significantly different (p = 0.626). CONCLUSION This study showed that the E and the organ dose on directly exposed organs were both higher for PVP performed under CT-guidance than with the fixed C-arm.

Abstract
Purpose: Tumor metastasis in the spine can cause pain and fractures, leading to deformities, and deficits in movement, sensation, and bowel/bladder function. Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and subtotal vertebral resection with reconstruction (SVR) are suitable treatments, but their relative clinical efficacy is uncertain. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to compare the management and clinical effect of SVR for lumbar metastatic tumor with PVP.Methods: Sixty-seven patients (mean age: 58.6 years) with metastases in the lumbar spine received SVR or PVP at our institution between 2010 and 2013. Thirty-three patients received SVR via a posterior approach, in which vertebrae were resected, with the anterior and lateral walls retained using polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), followed by reconstruction and pedicle screw fixation. Thirty-four patients received PVP via the vertebral pedicle. Patients were followed for 3-26 months.Results: None of the patients experienced serious complications after surgery, and all patients experienced significant amelioration of pain. Twelve patients (8 in the PVP group and 4 in the SVR group) died during the follow-up, and the survival time was significantly longer in the SVR group. Two patients in the SVR group and 7 patients in the PVP groups experienced recurrence during follow-up, but the groups had no significant difference in local recurrence. Both treatments significantly reduced scores for pain on a visual analog scale (pain-VAS) and disability (Oswestry Disability Index [ODI]), and increased performance status (Karnofsky Performance Status [KPS]). Compared with the PVP group, the SVR group had better ODI score at 1 month and 3 months after surgery and a higher KPS score at 1 month after surgery. The two groups had no significant difference in pain-VAS scores during follow-up.Conclusions: SVR is a reliable treatment for lumbar metastatic tumor and provides good survival rate and satisfying follow-up results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vertebral body compression fractures are one of the most common causes of disability and morbidity, especially among the elderly population. The present study was performed in order to evaluate the effect of percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) on patients' pain and quality of life (QOL) in Iran. METHODS The study was conducted on a consecutive series of 54 patients with symptomatic vertebral compression fractures who failed conservative management between 2014 and 2017. A quasi-experimental design was employed in which the pain severity, quality of life, and kyphotic angle were measured before and 3 and 12 months after the PBK procedure. Pain and quality of life outcomes were determined using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for Pain and the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) for QOL. RESULTS Excellent improvement in VAS was documented at 3 and 12 months after the BKP procedure (p = 0.001). Improvement at 3 months was maintained through the 12 months follow-up period. A statistically significant improvement in QOL was documented at 3 months after BKP that continued to improve through 12 months follow-up. The mean kyphotic angle before PBK was 19.4 ± 5.3 degrees which after 3 months improved to 12.8 ± 3.1 degrees; this reduction was significant (p < 0.001). No new fractures occurred during the follow-up period. CONCLUSION Balloon kyphoplasty was determined to be a safe and successful method for treating symptomatic vertebral compression fractures. It leads to significant pain relief, an improvement in self-reported QOL measures, and correction in kyphotic deformity.

Abstract
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cement is the most widely used grouting material in the joint arthroplasties and vertebroplasties. The present investigation has been carried out to scavenge the radicals and monomer by addition of an antioxidant to minimize the toxicity of bone cement (BC). The in silico studies were employed to determine the potent natural antioxidant at physiological conditions. The antioxidant methionine demonstrated a strong binding affinity with free radicals and methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer than cysteine. The designated amount of methionine was optimized by various assay methods and >2% methionine shows strong scavenging capacity in BC. Moreover, the antioxidant-loaded BC (ABC) demonstrated similar handling, physicochemical and mechanical properties to pristine bone cement. Significantly, the developed formulation shows superior biological characteristics such as cell proliferation (2 ± 1 BC and 6 ± 1 ABC), adhesion (0.32 ± 0.02 BC and 0.54 ± 0.01 ABC), and cell viability (81 ± 2% BC and 93 ± 1% ABC) toward human osteoblast-like cells (MG-63). Therefore, the novel antioxidant bone cement is a potential candidate for various orthopedic applications to eliminate the adverse effects, related to residual toxic radical and monomer in bone cement.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) represents approximately 15% of haematological malignancies and most of the patients present with bone involvement. Focal or diffuse spinal osteolysis may result in significant morbidity by causing painful progressive vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) and deformities. Advances in the systemic treatment of myeloma have achieved high response rates and prolonged the survival significantly. Early diagnosis and management of skeletal events contribute to improving the prognosis and quality of life of MM patients. The management of patients with significant pain due to VCFs in the acute phase is not standardised. While some patients are successfully treated conservatively, and pain relief is achieved within a few weeks, a large percentage has disabling pain and morbidity and hence they are considered for surgical intervention. Balloon kyphoplasty and percutaneous vertebroplasty are minimally invasive procedures which have been shown to relieve pain and restore function. Despite increasing positive evidence for the use of these procedures, the indications, timing, efficacy, safety and their role in the treatment algorithm of myeloma spinal disease are yet to be elucidated. This paper reports an update of the consensus statement from the International Myeloma Working Group on the role of cement augmentation in myeloma patients with VCFs.

Abstract
We compared the biomechanics between improved percutaneous vertebroplasty (improved PVP) and traditional percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the treatment of vertebral peripheral wall damage-type osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). A total of 15 vertebral peripheral wall damage-type OVCF models of new calves (12-14 weeks) were treated with a decalcifying agent (Shandon TBD-1) with the vertebral compression fracture. The vertebral volume and anterior height before modeling, and the vertebral BMD before and after modeling were measured. The models were randomly divided into three groups: the improved PVP group (Group A), the traditional PKP group (Group B) and the control group (Group C). BMD of Groups A, B and C after decalcification was significantly lower than that before decalcification (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in BMD before and after decalcification among Groups A, B and C (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the initial strength and stiffness among the three groups (P>0.05). The postoperative strength of Groups A and B was 1.036±300 and 1.045±200 N, respectively, which was significantly higher than the initial strength (P<0.05). The postoperative stiffness of Groups A and B was 395±250 and 470±270 N/mm, respectively, which was slightly lower than the initial stiffness, however, the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). In the comparison of postoperative strength and stiffness between Groups A and B, the postoperative strength in Group A was lower than that in Group B; differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05); there was no significant difference in the postoperative stiffness between Groups A and B (P>0.05). There were no significant differences of injection of bone cement between the two groups (P>0.05). Therefore, an improved PVP can basically realize the curative effects of traditional PKP in the treatment of vertebral peripheral wall damage-type OVCF, which can be used as clinical reference.

Abstract
Purpose To create and validate a computer system with which to detect, localize, and classify compression fractures and measure bone density of thoracic and lumbar vertebral bodies on computed tomographic (CT) images. Materials and Methods Institutional review board approval was obtained, and informed consent was waived in this HIPAA-compliant retrospective study. A CT study set of 150 patients (mean age, 73 years; age range, 55-96 years; 92 women, 58 men) with (n = 75) and without (n = 75) compression fractures was assembled. All case patients were age and sex matched with control subjects. A total of 210 thoracic and lumbar vertebrae showed compression fractures and were electronically marked and classified by a radiologist. Prototype fully automated spinal segmentation and fracture detection software were then used to analyze the study set. System performance was evaluated with free-response receiver operating characteristic analysis. Results Sensitivity for detection or localization of compression fractures was 95.7% (201 of 210; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 87.0%, 98.9%), with a false-positive rate of 0.29 per patient. Additionally, sensitivity was 98.7% and specificity was 77.3% at case-based receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Accuracy for classification by Genant type (anterior, middle, or posterior height loss) was 0.95 (107 of 113; 95% CI: 0.89, 0.98), with weighted κ of 0.90 (95% CI: 0.81, 0.99). Accuracy for categorization by Genant height loss grade was 0.68 (77 of 113; 95% CI: 0.59, 0.76), with a weighted κ of 0.59 (95% CI: 0.47, 0.71). The average bone attenuation for T12-L4 vertebrae was 146 HU ± 29 (standard deviation) in case patients and 173 HU ± 42 in control patients; this difference was statistically significant (P < .001). Conclusion An automated machine learning computer system was created to detect, anatomically localize, and categorize vertebral compression fractures at high sensitivity and with a low false-positive rate, as well as to calculate vertebral bone density, on CT images. © RSNA, 2017 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and interventional tumor removal (ITR), with PVP alone for malignant vertebral compression fractures and/or spinal metastatic tumor with epidural involvement. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 124 patients were selected for PVP and ITR (n = 71, group A) and PVP alone (n = 53, group B). A 14 G needle and guide wire were inserted into the vertebral body, followed by sequential dilatation of the tract until the last cannula reached the anterior portion of the pedicle. Tumors were then ablated with a radiofrequency probe. ITR was performed with marrow nucleus rongeurs, and then cement was injected into the extirpated vertebra. Outcomes were collected preoperatively and at 1, 3 and 6 months and every subsequent 6 months. RESULTS The rates of pain relief and increased mobility at the last follow-up were higher in group A than those in group B (P < 0.05). There were significant differences in visual analog scale (VAS) score and Oswestry disability index (ODI) score at 1, 3 and 6 months, 1 year and >1 year in group A than in group B (P < 0.05). The rates of paraplegia recovery and vertebral stability in group A were higher than those in group B (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION PVP and ITR proved to be an effective approach for patients with malignant vertebral compression fractures and/or spinal metastatic tumor and provided distinct advantages in pain relief, function recovery and vertebral stability that are comparable to that obtained with PVP alone.

AIM To evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) combined with interventional tumor removal (ITR) in providing pain relief, reducing disability, and improving functional performance in patients with malignant vertebral compression fractures without epidural involvement. METHODS Patients with malignant vertebral compression fractures (n=58) were treated with either PVP+ITR (n=31, group A) or PVP alone (n=27, group B). A 14 G needle was inserted into the vertebral body, and the tract was sequentially dilated with working cannulae. When the last working cannula had reached the distal pedicle of vertebral arch, ITR was performed with a marrow nucleus rongeurs inserted through the working cannula. Finally, cement was injected into the excavated vertebral body. Patients were followed up at 1, 3, and 6 months after the procedure, and every 6 months thereafter. RESULTS The overall excellent and good pain relief rate during follow-ups was significantly better in group A than in group B (94% vs.56%; p=0.002). The average VAS, ODI, and KPS scores at 3 months, 6 months, 1-year, and >1 year were all significantly lower in group A than in group B (p<0.05). The mean cement filling volume and the stability of the treated vertebrae were significantly higher in group A than in group B (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The combination of PVP+ITR is a safe and effective procedure, capable of providing significantly greater pain relief and vertebral stability than PVP alone in patients with malignant vertebral compression fractures.

Abstract
Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are widely used for osteoporotic and cancer-related vertebral compression fractures refractory to medical treatment. Many aspects of these procedures have been extensively discussed in the literature during the last few years. In this article, we perform a critical appraisal of current evidence on effectiveness and ongoing controversies regarding surgical technique, indications and contraindications, clinical outcomes and potential complications of these procedures.

Abstract
The spine is a frequent localization of primary tumours or metastasis involving posterior arch, pedicles and vertebra body, and often causing unsustainable pain. The management of spinal metastasis remains complex, including medical therapy (corticosteroids, chemotherapy), radiotherapy and surgical treatment, or the recent percutaneous mini-invasive approach. The target of all these treatments is to improve the quality of life of patients affected by this type of lesion. Diagnosis of spinal metastasis and then its treatment should be based on the combination of different elements: clinical evaluation, CT, MRI and nuclear medicine patterns, considering the age of the patient, known primary tumour, location of the lesions, single/multiple lesions, pattern of morphology (border, matrix, expansile character, soft tissue extension), density or signal intensity, oncologic instability and expectancy of life. The percutaneous mini-invasive approach for patients affected by secondary lesions involving the spine has as treatment goal of: (1) pain relief improving the quality of life; (2) stability treatment re-establishing the spinal biomechanics, alterated by bone destruction or deformity, preventing pathological fracture; and (3) an anti-neoplastic effect. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive diagnostic and percutaneous approach to the bone metastatic spine lesions, identifying which metamer should be treated to improve patient quality of life, showing the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach to this problem.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was performed to provide an overview of the current practice of balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) and percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in Germany. All surgical departments were evaluated for indications, experience and expertise, and the complications. METHODS Questionnaires were mailed to 1330 surgical departments. RESULTS A total of 582 (43.76%) surveys were returned; 257 departments perform neither BKP nor PVP. Osteoporotic compression fractures and to a lesser extent hemangiomas and metastasis were treated. About 30% of the BKP users consider traumatic vertebral fractures in young patients as an indication, 76% of the respondents perform further spinal surgery, and 71% of the users operate within the first 2 weeks. For both interventions cement leakage is the most common complication. CONCLUSION Nationwide kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are widely used by surgeons. The number of users as well as the annual number of cases in each center are increasing continuously. The partially incomplete present state of the studies must be validated by future high-quality, randomized studies.

Abstract
In November 2011 a 75-year-old man was admitted to our emergency department with a low back pain caused by a traumatic L1 vertebral collapse with backward projection of posterior wall superior third. The indication for neurosurgical instrumentation was placed, although he refused the treatment. Hence he was treated conservatively without a significant improvement up to January 2012 when, still refusing surgery, he accepted to undergo percutaneous vertebroplasty with a novel bioactive injectable strontium-hydroxyapatite cement. Vertebroplasty was performed without complications. A CT scan, performed the day after the procedure, ruled out extravertebral cement leakage. Pain improvement was significant (preprocedure VAS 10, one-week VAS 4) with a gradual decrease up to three months when it stabilized at 2. CT examination after 1 year showed a good cement osseointegration with osteophytic spurs bridging the superior endplate of the level involved to the inferior one of the level above. The new bone ingrowing property of the strontium-hydroxyapatite containing cement permits to extend the treatment indication also to unstable collapses in which the risk of pseudoarthrosis is very high. In this reported case we evaluated the potential role of percutaneous vertebroplasty in traumatic burst fracture with spinal channel involvement.

Abstract
Anatomic reduction of articular depression tibial plateau fractures is challenging. The authors describe a new technique using percutaneous balloon-guided inflation osteoplasty for a depressed lateral tibial plateau fracture. The fluoroscopy-guided inflation osteoplasty restores the joint surface anatomically in a minimally invasive fashion. The metaphyseal void is filled with a fast-setting fluid-phase bone substitute, and a lateral buttress plate is applied with less invasive incisions. This technique is a valid alternative for indirect reduction of depressed articular tibial plateau fractures.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN We report a case of pulmonary embolism of polymethylmethacrylate material after percutaneous vertebroplasty. OBJECTIVE To describe a severe vertebroplasty complication, the pulmonary embolism, which proved to be fatal in a patient with many chronic disabilities. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Until 2007, the literature noted that the risk of embolism of polymethylmethacrylate after a percutaneous vertebroplasty counted a small number of pulmonary cement embolism and a smaller number of fatal consequences. The most recent research revealed that the risk of a pulmonary cement embolism ranges from 3.5% to 23% for osteoporotic compression fractures. METHODS This study is a case report of an 80-year-old patient with multiple medical comorbid factors, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, mild renal failure, osteoporosis, and hepatic cirrhosis. Symptoms of pulmonary embolism developed 1 month after a percutaneous vertebroplasty. An echocardiography report suggested that the cement infiltrated the right atrium and the right pulmonary artery, and this was confirmed by a computed tomographic scan. As the therapy with oxygen and low-molecular-weight heparin failed to solve the thrombus, the patient required a surgical tricuspid annuloplasty and the extirpation of the right atrial and right pulmonary masses. RESULTS The course of the operation was complicated by pulmonary infection, and the patient ultimately succumbed to infection/respiratory failure. CONCLUSION The presence of intravascular/intracardiac foreign bodies is underreported in literature, but it is quite common in clinical practice. We need to discuss the choice of some non-risk-free interventions such as vertebroplasty in older patients already affected by multiple main disabilities.

Abstract
In clinical practice, vertebral compression fractures occur after trauma and osteoporosis. Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure using bone filler material for the treatment of such fractures. A full synthetic injectable bone substitute (SIBS) was manufactured by means of spray drying. The aim of this study was to characterize the SIBS and to analyze the remodelling process during degradation of the biomaterial and new bone formation after implantation. SIBS is an aqueous suspension of donut-like microparticles. These microparticles consist of nanocrystallites of synthetic hydroxyapatite embedded in amorphous silica gel. After implantation of SIBS in a proximal tibial diaphyseal defect in 52 rats, grafts were harvested for subsequent analysis on different days. Newly formed bone originating from endosteum was observed on day 6. Hematomas in the medullary space and cortical wounds disappeared on day 12. The wound region was completely replaced by a composite of newly formed cancellous bone, extracellular matrix, and SIBS. At day 63 the cortical defect was fully healed by bone, while newly formed bone in the medullary space almost disappeared and was replaced with bone marrow. In conclusion, SIBS demonstrated a unique structure with osteoinductive and bioresorbable properties, which induced fast bone regeneration. Therefore, a clinical application of SIBS for kyphoplasty is promising.
