Application Value of Unilateral and Bilateral Percutaneous Vertebroplasty in Patients with Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures
Objective:To investigate the application value of unilateral and bilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.Methods:100 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture treated in our hospital from March 2021 to January 2023 were selected as the study objects,and were divided into a control group and an observation group according to random number table method,with 50 cases in each group.The control group underwent bilateral percutaneous puncture vertebroplasty,and the observation group underwent unilateral percutaneous puncture vertebroplasty.The clinical efficacy and intraoperative indexes,lumbar dysfunction,pain degree and bone metabolism level were compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in clinical efficacy between the two groups(P>0.05).The length of operation in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group,the amount of bone cement injection and the number of intraoperative fluoroscopy were smaller than those in the control group,and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the dysfunction and visual analog scores of 2 groups were lower than those before treatment,and the observation group was lower than the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in all dimensions of bone metabolism between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:For patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures,unilateral or bilateral pedicle puncture with bone cement can support the vertebral body without affecting bone metabolism indexes.However,unilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty is more efficient than bilateral puncture and can improve function and pain more ideal.
