Analysis of the Improvement Effect of Percutaneous Vertebroplasty for El-derly Osteoporotic Spinal Fractures on Their Spinal Functions
Objective To investigate the effect of percutaneous vertebroplasty on the improvement of spinal function in elderly patients with osteoporotic spinal fractures.Methods The clinical data of 113 elderly osteoporotic spinal frac-ture patients admitted to Shaowu Municipal Hospital from December 2021 to December 2023 were retrospectively se-lected.They were divided into two groups according to the difference of treatment methods,57 cases receiving conser-vative treatment were included in the control group,and 56 cases receiving percutaneous vertebroplasty were included in the observation group.The spinal function[vertebral body height,Oswestry Disability Index(ODI)score,Prolo Lum-bar Spine Function score]and clinical treatment effects before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results Vertebral body height,Prolo Lumbar Spine Function score,and ODI score of the observation group were better than those of the control group after treatment,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).The total effective rate of clinical treatment in the observation group was 94.64%,which was higher than 82.46%in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(χ2=4.121,P<0.05).Conclusion The spinal function and clinical efficacy of elderly osteoporotic spinal fracture patients were significantly improved after receiving percutaneous vertebroplasty.
