Article Synopsis
- This study compares the effectiveness of three different fixation methods for treating lumbar degenerative disease in patients with osteoporosis: PMMA-augmented pedicle-screw fixation, bicortical fixation, and tricortical fixation.
- Patients in all groups showed significant improvement in pain and disability scores post-surgery, but those using PMMA had better outcomes, including lower rates of screw loosening.
- The findings suggest that PMMA augmentation enhances screw stability in lumbosacral fusion for these patients, making it a recommended surgical approach.
Objective: The floating calcified tissue in floating calcified lumbar disc herniation (FCLDH) is hard and often adheres to the dura mater, which can easily cause nerve root damage during surgery, making the operation challenging. We proposed the classification of FCLDH and a new technique for removing floating calcified tissue and reported the clinical efficacy and safety of this new technique in clinical practice.
Methods: From January 2019 to October 2021, 24 patients (13 males and 11 females, 46.
Background: To investigate the clinical outcomes of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) versus percutaneous vertebroplasty combined with pediculoplasty (PVP-PP) for Kümmell's disease (KD).
Methods: Between February 2017 and November 2020, 76 patients with KD undergoing PVP or PVP-PP were included in this retrospective study. Based on the PVP whether combined with pediculoplasty, those patients were divided into PVP group (n = 39) and PVP-PP group (n = 37).
