Application of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery in Patients with Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures Undergoing Percutaneous Kyphoplasty.

Background: The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program helps patients recover faster and better, postoperatively. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the clinical effectiveness of the ERAS program after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

Methods: We enrolled patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture who had undergone PKP between January 2019 and June 2021 and divided them into the control group (CG; n = 296), without the ERAS program, and the intervention group (IG; n = 306), with the ERAS program.

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) relieves psychological stress in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture undergoing percutaneous kyphoplasty: an observational retrospective cohort study.

Study Design: This is an observational retrospective cohort study.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the incidence rate of depression and anxiety and the changes in patients treated with percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) following ERAS protocol. The incidence of depression and anxiety is not uncommon in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF), which affects the prognosis of surgery.

Occipitocervical Fusion via Cervical Pedicle Fixation Assisted with O-arm Navigation.

Objective: To describe the clinical outcomes of occipitocervical fusion (OCF) using cervical pedicle fixation with assistance of O-arm navigation and present its clinical feasibility.

Methods: From January 2015 to December 2016, eight patients with a variety of diagnoses were surgically treated with occipitocervical fusion using cervical pedicle screws under O-arm navigation. All patients received full workup consisting of clinical and radiological assessments.

Comparing clinical outcomes of using 3 versus 5 titanium miniplates in laminoplasty for multilevel cervical myelopathy: A prospective cohort study.

Study Design: Prospective cohort study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes, radiographic changes, and complications of cervical expansive open-door laminoplasty（EOLP）for cervical multilevel myelopathy, using either 3 or 5 titanium miniplates.

Summary Of Background Data: Cervical EOLP is a common and effective operation for cervical myelopathy.

Spinal extradural arachnoid cyst following percutaneous vertebroplasty.

We report a rare complication of extradural arachnoid cyst following percutaneous vertebroplasty in a spinal metastasis patient. Percutaneous vertebroplasty has been established as a safe and effective treatment for osteoporotic vertebral fractures and vertebral metastatic lesions. To our knowledge, extradural arachnoid cyst following vertebroplasty has not been reported in literature.

[Selectivity and individualization of transpedicular balloon kyphoplasty for aged osteoporotic spinal fractures].

Objective: To investigate the selectivity and individualization of transpedicular balloon kyphoplasty for aged osteoporotic spinal fracture.

Methods: Twenty-two consecutive procedures were performed in 17 aged patients with osteoporotic spinal compression fractures from April 2002 to June 2004. The signal changes in different sequences were confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging before the procedures.

[The contrast study between single and double balloon bilateral dilatation of kyphoplasty].

Objective: To contrast single and double balloon-inflated kyphoplasty for vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) and evaluate its clinical efficacy.

Methods: From May 2000 to May 2004, 90 consecutive procedures were performed in 58 patients who suffered from painful vertebral compression fractures, transferring tumour and angioma. Ninety vertebrae were inflated while 62 as A group were double balloon and 28 as B group were single balloon, fracture reduction and bone cement augmentation.
