Observation on Clinical Efficacy of Vertebroplasty for the Treatment of 37 Cases with Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures
Objective To investigate clinical efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP) for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Methods 57 cases(71 vertebrae) of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures in our hospital were randomly divided into control group 20 cases and observation group 37 cases. Control group included 25 vertebrae and received conservative treatment. Observation group included 46 vertebrae and received PVP. The hospitalization time, ambulation time, VAS score, Cobb angles before and after treatment and complication rate of two groups were compared. Results The hospitalization time and ambulation time of observation group were significantly lower than control group(P <0.05). After treatment, VAS score and Cobb angles of two groups decreased significantly(P <0.05), but the amount of variation in observation group were significantly higher than those of control group(P <0.05). The complication rate of two groups had no significant difference(P >0.05). Conclusion PVP for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures has exact effect with fewer complications and rapid postoperative recovery. It's worthy of clinical widely used.
