Background And Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between filling proportion of bone cement in the vertical direction and incidence of recollapse in the augmented vertebrae after vertebral augmentation.
Methods: Fifty-one patients (51 vertebrae) who had operations between January 2014 and July 2016 with a mean age of 78.10 years were included. All patients in our department of spine surgery were advised to have follow-up care every 6 months. Patients characteristics, radiographic outcomes were evaluated.
Results: The recollapse of augmented vertebral body occurred in 10 of 51 vertebrae (20%).
Conclusion: Patients with a high proportion rate of bone cement in the middle vertical direction have a low incidence of experiencing recollapse.

Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) in elderly patients pose challenges due to bone destruction and surgical risks. This case report describes a minimally invasive approach using calcium phosphate cement (CPC) vertebroplasty and short fusion with cement augmentation of pedicle screws (CAPS) in a 91-year-old woman with severe OVF. The patient underwent CPC vertebroplasty at L1 and CAPS fixation at T12-L2, followed by osteoporosis medication.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) combined with Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) aspiration technique in the treatment of multidrug-resistant diabetic foot ulcers (MDRO-DFUs).
Methods: A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 80 patients with MDROs-DFU who were used Vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) as NPWT excipient and met the inclusion criteria from January 2019 to January 2024 at our hospital. Patients were divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 40 cases in each.

Department of Orthopaedics, Binhai Hospital of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, Tianjin 300480, China.
Background: This meta-analysis was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of vertebral augmentation (VA) plus pedicle screw fixation (PSF) with VA for treating osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures (OTLFs).
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) to identify studies comparing PSF+VA with VA for treating OTLF. The primary outcomes were operation time, blood loss, length of stay, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Oswestry disability index (ODI), Cobb angle, anterior vertebral height (AVH), bone cement leakage, secondary fracture and other adverse events.
