Effect of Percutaneous Vertebroplasty on Elderly Patients with Thoracolumbar Fracture
Objective:To investigate the effect of percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP)on elderly patients with thoracolumbar fracture.Method:A total of 101 elderly patients with thoracolumbar fracture admitted to the Huai'an Eighty-two Hospital from January 2021 to February 2023 were selected as the study objects.They were divided into observation group(50 cases)and control group(51 cases)according to random number table method.The observation group received PVP and the control group received conservative treatment.The vertebral body condition,quality of life and complications were compared between the two groups.Result:One month after treatment,the vertebral compression rate decreased in the two groups,the vertebral compression rate in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,and the vertebral height recovery degree was higher than that in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).One month after treatment,the quality of life questionnaire core-30(QLQ-C30)scores of both groups were increased,and the QLQ-C30 score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:For elderly patients with thoracolumbar fracture,PVP can effectively restore the vertebral height,promote the rehabilitation of patients,improve the quality of life and reduce the incidence of complications.
