Clinical Results of Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery in Patients with Os-teoporotic Vertebral Fractures
Objective To analyze the effect of minimally invasive spinal surgery on osteoporotic vertebral fractures.Methods A total of 80 patients with osteoporotic vertebral fracture admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan Uni-versity from January 2020 to December 2022 were selected as the study objects.According to odd-even grouping,they were divided into open group(n=35)and minimally invasive group(n=45).The open group received traditional open surgery,while the minimally invasive group received minimally invasive spinal surgery.The perioperative indexes,vertebral body status,healing and complications were compared between the two groups.Results After surgery,the time of operation and discharge in the minimally invasive group was shorter than that in the open group,and the differ-ences were statistically significant(both P<0.05).The frontal height and middle height of injured vertebrae in the mini-mally invasive group were higher than those in the open group,and the Cobb Angle was lower than that in the open group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores and Ac-tivities of Daily Living scores in the minimally invasive group were higher than those in the open group,and Visual Analogue Scor scores were lower than those in the open group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).The incidence of complications in minimally invasive group(0)was lower than that in open group(11.43%),and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=5.414,P<0.05).Conclusion Minimally invasive spinal surgery has fewer complications,can quickly restore the height of the injured vertebra,reduce Cobb Angle,reduce vertebral pain,restore spinal function,and promote the rehabilitation of osteoporotic vertebral fracture.
