Clinical Value of Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery in the Treatment of Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures
Objective To investigate the clinical value of minimally invasive spinal surgery in the treatment of osteopo-rotic vertebral fractures(OVF).Methods Sixty patients diagnosed with OVF admitted to Binhai Hospital of Putian from October 2022 to October 2023 were randomly selected as the study objects and divided into control group and ob-servation group according to different treatment methods,with 30 cases in each group.The control group was treated with traditional plaster external fixation/traction reduction,and the observation group was treated with minimally inva-sive spinal surgery.The surgical efficacy,vertebral anterior margin height,lumbar function and complications in differ-ent treatment stages were compared between patients in two groups.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 96.67%(29/30),which was higher than that of the control group 73.33%(22/30),the difference was statisti-cally significant(χ2=4.705,P=0.030).After surgery,the vertebral anterior margin height of the observation group was higher than that of the control group,and the Oswestry Disability Index of the observation group was lower than that of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(both P<0.05).The total incidence of complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The minimally invasive spinal surgery for OVF patients has a definite therapeutic effect,which can more effectively improve the anterior vertebral height,accelerate lumbar functional recovery,and control the occurrence of complications.
