Effect of Modified Unilateral Percutaneous Kyphoplasty Combined with Contralateral Percutaneous Vertebroplasty in the Treatment of Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fracture
Objective To explore the effect of modified unilateral percutaneous kyphoplasty(PKP)combined with contralateral percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP)in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture(OVCF).Methods 76 OVCF patients were randomly divided into two groups.The control group was treated with bilateral PKP,while the observation group was treated with modified unilateral PKP combined with contralateral PVP.The treatment effects of the two groups were compared.Results The surgical time of the observation group was shorter than that of the control group,the bone cement injection volume was less than that of the control group,and the incidence of bone cement leakage was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).At 3 days and 6 months after surgery,the Cobb angle of spinal kyphosis and the height of the anterior edge of the injured vertebra in both groups were better than those before surgery(P<0.05),while no statistically significant difference was found between the groups(P>0.05).Conclusions Modified unilateral PKP combined with contralateral PVP in the treatment of OVCF has short surgical time,less bone cement usage,and low incidence of postoperative bone cement leakage.
