Expert Consensus on Bone Repair Strategies for Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures
Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures is a common type of osteoporotic fractures,often occurring with minimal external force or even without obvious trauma.They manifest as pain,deformity,and functional impairment,significantly impacting patients'quality of life.Following reduction of vertebral compression fractures,bone defects often occur and typically require bone grafting for repair.Surgical treatments primarily include percutaneous vertebral augmentation and open surgery.Cement augmentation,appropriate bone implantation,and anti-pullout internal fixation are crucial components of bone repair therapy.Different types of cement materials and novel vertebral augmentation techniques offer more options for vertebral fracture repair.This consensus incorporates epidemiological characteristics of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures,referencing literature search results and expert survey opinions,to address common controversies regarding commonly used vertebral bone repair materials,strategies,and postoperative considerations in clinical practice.It is hoped that this consensus will improve treatment outcomes,enhance patient prognosis,and promote standardized clinical management of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture repair.
