Percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and vertebral tumors

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and vertebral tumors. Methods Clinical data of 45 cases in our hospital from 2010 January to 2011 December of percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and vertebral tumor were reviewed. Results Before treatment,VAS score,activity score,vertebral height,front edge vertebral height,Cobb angle's were( 8. 5 ± 11. 4) scores,( 3. 2 ± 0. 7) scores,( 17. 7 ± 1. 6) mm,( 19. 8 ± 1. 2) mm,( 30. 8 ± 3. 1) °,after the treatment they were( 2. 3 ± 0. 6) %,( 1. 4 ± 0. 3) %,( 22. 5 ± 0. 9) mm,( 23. 7 ± 1. 1) mm,( 6. 7 ± 0. 7) °,respectively. Compared with those before treatment and after treatment,VAS score activity score,anterior vertebral height,posterior vertebral height,s angle Cobb 'data have obvious difference,there was statistically significant( P 0. 05). All patients in the course of treatment were good recovery,and no neurological symptoms and complications such as infection and vascular remobilization. Conclusions The clinical by percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and vertebral tumor effect, clinical treatment can improve the patients effective efficiency,and the wound is small,restore more quickly after operation,few complications,effectively improve the vertebral height,it is worthy of application and promotion in clinical practice.
