Published: December 2002

Percutaneous vertebroplasty has been performed in the United States since 1995, and widespread application of the procedure for osteoporotic and neoplastic compression fractures or vertebral infiltration has demonstrated remarkable efficacy with rare complications. Appropriate patient selection criteria and a thorough understanding of safe technique is essential for clinical success; imaging studies must be combined with careful physical examination to direct treatment to the appropriate level in patients with multiple compression deformities. Preoperative consultation with the patient and their family provides an opportunity to clarify the patient's treatment expectations and helps to anticipate and obviate potential obstacles to treatment.

Objective: To observe the clinical outcomes of anterior approach for the revision surgery following unsuccessful bone cement augmentation in osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

Methods: A total of 10 patients who experienced unsuccessful bone cement augmentation underwent anterior revision surgery between January 2020 and December 2021. There were 2 males and 8 females.

Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a widely utilized minimally invasive technique originally developed for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures. It has since expanded to treat osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, pathologic vertebral fractures resulting from primary or secondary spinal tumors, and traumatic spinal fractures. Despite its benefits, PVP is associated with significant complications, the most common of which is bone cement leakage.

The aim of this research was to conduct randomized trials assessing the extent of cement diffusion following robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty (R-PVP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF). A total of 96 OVCF patients meeting the inclusion criteria and admitted between January 2023 and November 2023 were included in the study. Among them, 48 patients were assigned to the robotic-assisted PVP group (R-PVP group) and 48 patients were assigned to the traditional PVP group (PVP group).

Backgrounds: Previous studies have found that percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) can effectively improve the local pain of the affected vertebra caused by thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) regardless of unilateral or bilateral puncture, but there are few reports on whether it is equally effective for the accompanying distant lumbosacral pain.

Objective: To analyze the clinical effect of unilateral or bilateral PVP on thoracolumbar OVCF with distant lumbosacral pain.

Methods: The clinical data of patients with single-stage OVCF treated with PVP in our hospital from March 2019 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.

Background: No studies have evaluated the impact of the cement distribution as classified on the basis of the fracture bone marrow edema area (FBMEA) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on the efficacy of percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) for acute osteoporotic vertebral fractures.

Methods: The clinical data of patients with acute, painful, single-level thoracolumbar osteoporotic fractures were retrospectively analyzed. The bone cement distribution on the postoperative radiograph was divided into 4 types according to the distribution of the FBMEA on the preoperative MRI.
