AI Article Synopsis
- The case report discusses the first treatment of a vertebral lipoma using only kyphoplasty.
- The patient was a 32-year-old woman with a year-long history of low back pain, initially misdiagnosed as a hemangioma.
- The findings indicated the need for surgical removal of the intraosseous lipoma to confirm diagnosis and alleviate the patient's pain.
Article Abstract
Study Design: Case report.
Objective: This case report is unique since this is the first vertebral lipom case that was treated by kyphoplasty alone.
Summary Of Background Data: Vertebral lipoma is extremely rare and our search of the English literature has revealed 20 patients in 16 reports.
Methods: A 32-year-old female patient was admitted to our neurosurgery department with the chief complaint of low back pain that had lasted nearly 1 year. A lumbar MR suggested a hemangioma and the patient was operated on.
Results: On microscopic examination, the lesion was seen to have a widely infiltrating appearance of mature fat tissue between bone trabeculae diagnosis was intraosseous lipoma.
Conclusion: We believe that the management should be surgical total removal of the lesion even in incidentally found cases in order to obtain histologic diagnosis and pain relief.
Level Of Evidence: 5.

Efficacy and Safety of Tranexamic Acid on Hidden Blood Loss in Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures Patients Treated with Percutaneous Kyphoplasty: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.
Ther Clin Risk Manag
December 2024
Department of Orthopedics, Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) in patients undergoing percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP), and identify the factors influencing hidden blood loss (HBL).
Methods: This randomized, placebo-controlled trial included 146 patients undergoing PKP surgery from September 2023 to July 2024. Patients were randomly assigned into the TXA group (75 patients received 1.
Freehand Placement of a Transiliac-Transsacral Screw for Fixation of Posterior Pelvic Ring Injuries.

December 2024
Department of Orthopaedics, The Fourth Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, China.
Objective: There are many advantages to stabilize the posterior pelvic ring injuries with a transiliac-transsacral (TITS) screw percutaneously. To identify the correct entry point and insert a guidewire accurately for a TITS screw, we propose a method of specifying the optimal entry point, and introduce a technique of enabling freehand placement of a guidewire with fluoroscopic guidance.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 116 patients who underwent pelvic CT scans and pelvic lateral radiographs at our institution from January 2020 to April 2022 were enrolled.
Efficacy of Percutaneous Kyphoplasty and Percutaneous Pedicle Screw Fixation in Managing Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures in Middle-Aged and Elderly Individuals: A Comparative Study.
Ann Ital Chir
December 2024
Department of Orthopedics, Suzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, 215000 Suzhou, Jiangsu, China.
Aim: This study is aims to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and percutaneous pedicle screw fixation (PPSF) in managing osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) among middle-aged and elderly individuals.
Methods: A total of 142 patients aged 55-65 years were selected retrospectively from the Department of Orthopedics of our hospital from June 2021 to June 2023 and classified into PKP (n = 68) and PPSF (n = 74) groups. General data of patients were collected, and related perioperative indicators, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scores, changes in Cobb angle of the fractured vertebrae, vertebral compression rate, as well as postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.
Development of a clinical predictive model for cement loosening after vertebral augmentation in osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

December 2024
Department of Orthopedics, Panyu Hospital of Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.
Purpose: This study aims to identify the risk factors associated with bone cement loosening after percutaneous vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty (PVP/PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) and to develop a clinical prediction model for bone cement loosening.
Methods: Clinical data of patients who underwent PVP/PKP for OVCF at Guangzhou Panyu Hospital from June 2017 to June 2021 were collected, with a division into loosening group and normal group based on postoperative follow-up imaging. Univariate analysis was conducted to explore the correlation between clinical data and bone cement loosening.
Is Percutaneous Kyphoplasty the Better Choice for Treatment of Stage III Kümmell's Disease Without Neurological Symptoms? A Retrospective Study of Two Invasive Procedures.
Orthop Surg
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, China.
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.
