Efficacy and safety of hollow pedicle screw-anchored bone cement combined with posterior long-segment fixation for Stage III Kümmell's disease.

Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hollow pedicle screw-anchored bone cement combined with posterior long-segment fixation (LSF) for the treatment of Stage III Kümmell's disease.

Patients And Methods: The study retrospectively analyzed 23 patients (18 females, 5 males; mean age: 70.1±6.

Effect of screw insertion depth into fractured vertebrae in the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures.

Purpose: The study's objective was to assess the effect of the screw insertion depth into fractured vertebrae in treating thoracolumbar fractures.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 92 patients with thoracolumbar fractures from December 2018 to February 2020. Patients had AO type A2, A3 thoracolumbar fractures.

Efficacy and Safety of High-Viscosity Bone Cement in Percutaneous Vertebroplasty for Kummell's Disease.

Background: To analyze and evaluate the clinical outcomes of using high-viscosity bone cement compared to low-viscosity bone cement in percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for treatment of Kummell's disease.

Methods: From July 2017 to July 2019, 68 Kummell's disease patients who underwent PVP were chosen and separated into 2 groups: group ( = 34), were treated with high-viscosity bone cement and group ( = 34), treated with low-viscosity bone cement during treatment. The operation time, number of fluoroscopy tests done, and amount of bone cement perfusion were recorded for both groups.
