J INVEST SURG 2023; 36:2257780. [PMID: 37852750 DOI: 10.1080/08941939.2023.2257780] [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: 05/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the clinical efficacy of percutaneous functional spinal unit cementoplasty (PFSUP) and posterior spinal fixation combined with vertebroplasty (PSF + VP) for the treatment of symptomatic chronic osteoporotic vertebral fractures (SCOVFs). METHOD Thirty-one patients with SCOVFs were included in this retrospective study and divided into PFSUP (n = 14) and PSF + VP (n = 17) groups. Visual analog scores (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were recorded before and after surgery and at the last follow-up. Besides, the local kyphosis angle (LKA) and sagittal vertical axis (SVA) were measured. The operation duration, number of X-ray exposures, amount of blood loss, bed rest duration, hospitalization duration, and presence of complications were recorded. RESULT The VAS, ODI, LKA, and SVA after surgery and at the last follow-up were significantly improved in both groups compared to preoperative measurements. The PFSUP group experienced shorter operation duration (78.2 ± 13.1 vs. 124.7 ± 14.7, p < 0.001), less blood loss (31.1 ± 8.1 vs. 334.7 ± 70.9, p < 0.001), more X-ray exposures (92.1 ± 14.3 vs. 29.4 ± 5.5, p < 0.001), shorter bed rest duration (12.4 ± 3.8 vs. 43.4 ± 10.0, p < 0.001), shorter hospitalization (6.6 ± 2.4 vs. 10.9 ± 2.7, p < 0.001), lower complication rate (28.5% vs. 64.7%, p < 0.05), and higher cement leakage rate (42.9% vs. 5.8%, p < 0.05) than the PSF + VP group. CONCLUSION During the treatment of SCOVFs, the combination of PFSUP and PSF + VP can restore spinal stability, improve kyphosis, and relieve pain. PFSUP can reduce blood loss and complications, early mobilization, and shorten the hospital stay, but it is associated with a higher cement leakage rate and more radiation exposure.

Digital Subtraction Angiography-Guided Percutaneous Kyphoplasty in Treatment of Multi-Segmental Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fracture: A retrospective single-Center study. J Pain Res 2023; 16:169-176. [PMID: 36711114 PMCID: PMC9879022 DOI: 10.2147/jpr.s388068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2022] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to explore the effectiveness and safety of digital subtractionangiography (DSA)-guided percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in treating multi-segmental osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). Methods We retrospectively reviewed 68 patients with multi-segmental OVCF who had unilateral PKP surgeries using DSA and C arm guiding at our hospital between October 2016 and June 2020 and were followed for at least two years. All patients were divided into two groups: DSA guidance (n = 31) and C-arm guidance (n=37). In addition, we collected the clinical and radiological evaluation results during postoperative and last follow-up periods. Results Our findings revealed that the DSA guidance group required lesser time for channel establishment and surgery than the C-arm guidance group at P < 0.05. The incidences of bone cement leakage, fluoroscopy times, and radiation dose of the DSA guidance group were significantly lesser than the C-arm guidance group (P < 0.05). Compared to the C-arm guidance group, the deviation of puncture in the DSA guidance group was significantly lower, the puncture angle in the DSA guidance group was significantly larger, and better bone cement distribution was obtained (P < 0.05). Compared to preoperative data, the VAS score, median vertebral height, and Cobb angle were significantly improved one day after surgery and the final follow-up in both groups (P < 0.05). However, the VAS score, the median vertebral height, average length of stay, and Cobb angle were not significantly different between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion DSA-guided PKP in treating multi-segmental OVCF can shorten the operation time, improve puncture accuracy, reduce the times and dose of fluoroscopy, reduce the leakage of bone cement, and achieve better cement distribution.

Therapeutic Efficacy of Third-Generation Percutaneous Vertebral Augmentation System (PVAS) in Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures (OVCFs): A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:9637831. [PMID: 35578725 PMCID: PMC9107362 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9637831] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to assess whether the third-generation PVAS was superior to percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) or percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in treating patients with OVCFs. Methods Databases, including Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane library, were searched to identify relevant interventional and observational articles in vivo or in vitro comparing the third-generation PVAS to PVP/PKP in OVCFs patients. A meta-analysis was performed under the guidelines of the Cochrane Reviewer's Handbook. Results 11 in vivo articles involving 1035 patients with 1320 segments of diseased vertebral bodies and 8 in vitro studies enrolling 40 specimens with 202 vertebral bodies were identified. The vivo studies indicated no significant differences were found in visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), operation time, or injected cement volume (P > 0.05). The third-generation PVAS was associated with significant improvement in vertebral height and Cobb angle (P < 0.05) and also with a significantly lower risk of cement leakages and new fractures (P < 0.05). The vitro studies suggest that the third-generation PVAS was associated with better anterior vertebral height (AVH) and kyphotic angle (KA) after deflation and cement. No significant differences were found in stiffness or failure load after cement between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Based on current evidence, although providing similar improvement in VAS and ODI, the third-generation PVAS may be superior to PVP/PKP in local kyphosis correction, vertebral height maintenance, and adverse events reduction. Further high-quality randomized studies are required to confirm these results.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the efficacy and safety of unilateral O-arm navigation-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for the treatment of Kümmell’s disease. Methods The clinical data from patients with Kümmell’s disease who attended our hospital between January 2015 and January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. For each patient, the visual analog scale (VAS) score, anterior height of the vertebral body, sagittal kyphotic angle, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and postoperative cement leakage rate were recorded before and after surgery. Any surgical complications were documented. Results The patients were followed up for 12 to 18 months. The average preoperative VAS score, kyphotic angle, and ODI decreased from 8.6 ± 0.5, 18.0 ± 3.7°, and 86.027%, respectively, to 2.2 ± 0.2, 5.8 ± 0.8°, and 26.720% three days after surgery. The anterior height of the vertebral body increased significantly from 14.5 ± 1.2 mm preoperatively to 19.4 ± 1.2 mm three days after surgery, and this improvement was maintained until the last follow-up. After surgery, bone cement leakage occurred in one vertebral body; this patient exhibited leakage to the intervertebral disc space, a complete pedicle and spinal canal structure, no clinical symptoms, and required no treatment. Conclusion This study shows that unilateral PKP assisted by O-arm navigation is safe and effective. Moreover, the observed improvements can be maintained over the longer term.

Vertebral augmentation plus short-segment fixation versus vertebral augmentation alone in Kümmell's disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Neurosurg Rev 2021; 45:1009-1018. [PMID: 34596773 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-021-01661-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2021] [Revised: 08/27/2021] [Accepted: 09/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures of the thoracolumbar spine can progress to Kümmell's disease, an avascular vertebral osteonecrosis. Vertebral augmentation (VA)-vertebroplasty and/or kyphoplasty-is the main treatment modality, but additional short-segment fixation (SSF) has been recommended concomitant to VA. The aim is to compare clinical and radiological outcomes of VA + SSF versus VA alone. Systematic review, including comparative articles in Kümmell's disease, was performed. This study assessed the following outcome measurements: visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), anterior vertebral height (AVH), local kyphotic angle (LKA), operative time, blood loss, length of stay, and cement leakage. Six retrospective studies were included, with 126 patients in the VA + SSF group and 152 in VA alone. Pooled analysis showed the following: VAS, non-significant difference favoring VA + SSF: MD -0.61, 95% CI (-1.44, 0.23), I2 91%, p = 0.15; ODI, non-significant difference favoring VA + SSF: MD -9.85, 95% CI (-19.63, -0.07), I2 96%, p = 0.05; AVH, VA + SSF had a non-significant difference over VA alone: MD -3.21 mm, 95% CI (-7.55, 1.14), I2 92%, p = 0.15; LKA, non-significant difference favoring VA + SSF: MD -0.85°, 95% CI (-5.10, 3.40), I2 95%, p = 0.70. There were higher operative time, blood loss, and hospital length of stay for VA + SSF (p < 0.05), but with lower cement leakage (p < 0.05). VA + SFF and VA alone are effective treatment modalities in Kümmell's disease. VA + SSF may provide superior long-term results in clinical and radiological outcomes but required a longer length of stay.

A Pattern of the Condition and Available Treatment Modalities. J Clin Med 2021; 10:2584. [PMID: 34208124 PMCID: PMC8230888 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10122584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2021] [Revised: 05/22/2021] [Accepted: 06/08/2021] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
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.
