AI Article Synopsis
- Kummell's disease is a spinal condition where a vertebral body collapses after an injury, leading to avascular necrosis.
- Although there's no established treatment, techniques like percutaneous vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty have had positive outcomes, though not for severely collapsed vertebrae due to risks.
- A unique case is reported where inserting a working cannula into the vertebral body resulted in spontaneous height reduction in a patient with Kummell's disease.
Article Abstract
Kummell's disease is a spinal disorder characterized by delayed post-traumatic collapse of a vertebral body with avascular necrosis. Although definitive treatment for Kummell's disease has not been established, it has been reported that percutaneous vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty has shown good results. However, these procedures are not recommended for severely collapsed vertebral bodies because of the risk of cement leakage or technical difficulties. Authors report a rare case of spontaneous reduction in vertebral height by the insertion of a working cannula into the vertebral body in Kummell's disease.

Safety and clinical efficacy of modified tracer fixation technique in orthopedic robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty for Kümmell's disease.

The rising incidence of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) has increased the demand for precise treatments like robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), especially for conditions like Kümmell's disease that require high surgical accuracy. However, the traditional tracer fixation method has certain limitations. This study aimed to compare the safety and clinical efficacy of a modified tracer fixation technique with the traditional fixation method in robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for Kümmell's disease.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of two surgical treatments for Stage III Kümmell's disease without neurological deficits: percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) combined with long-segment fixation (LSF).
- A total of 89 patients were treated, with results showing that the PKP group had quicker recovery metrics and lower disability scores post-surgery, while the PSO+LSF group achieved better spinal alignment corrections.
- Ultimately, both procedures were effective with similar complication rates, suggesting personalized treatment plans based on patient's condition and surgeon’s expertise are crucial.
Background: Vertebral augmentation is the preferred treatment for Kümmell disease (KD), but there exists a risk of cement displacement resulting in severe back pain and exacerbation of kyphosis. The study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of a novel hollow pedicle screw combined with kyphoplasty (HPS-KP) for treating KD, effectively preventing postoperative bone cement displacement.
Methods: The prospective study included 50 KD patients with no neurological deficit detected during clinical and radiological evaluation who underwent HPS-KP ( = 25) and PKP ( = 25) surgeries.
