Purpose: To describe the operative technique and clinical effects of three-column enhanced percutaneous vertebroplasty used to treat Kummell's disease.
Methods: From April 2017 to April 2020, 39 patients with Kummell's disease were treated via three-column enhanced percutaneous vertebroplasty. There were 12 males and 27 females of average age 70.23 ± 7.41 years. The operative time, volume of bone cement injected, and intraoperative cement leakage were recorded. The patients were re-examined postoperatively. The VAS was used to evaluate low back pain and the ODI score to evaluate improvement in the quality-of-life.
Results: All patients were successfully operated upon; the average operation time was 35.1±4.7 min and average volume of bone cement injected 4.5±0.92 mL. Five cases exhibited bone cement leakage during operation, two into the intervertebral disc and three into the anterior upper margin of the vertebral body. No leakage into the vertebral canal occurred. The average hospital stay was 2.50±0.86 days. The VAS score before operation was 7.47±0.24, but low back pain symptoms were significantly relieved after operation (P < 0.05). The VAS scores at 1 day and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after operation were 2.91±0.09, 2.04±0.07, 1.59±0.05, 1.28±0.15, and 0.8±0.18, respectively. The preoperative ODI score was 72.97±1.45 and significantly decreased postoperatively (P < 0.05), being 30.08±1.79 at 1 day, and 25.35±0.94, 23.19±1.76, 20.49±0.65, and 20.05±0.58 at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after operation respectively.
Conclusion: Three-column enhanced percutaneous vertebroplasty effectively treats Kummell's disease. The surgical trauma is low, recovery rapid, and bone cement fixation firm, especially in patients with stage I and II disease.

This study aimed to explore the role of the three-dimension (3D) printed models in orthopedic resident training of tibial plateau fractures. A total of 41 residents from our institution were divided into two groups. The intervention group, consisting of 20 residents, had access to 3D-printed models illustrating thirteen tibial plateau fractures.

Study Design: A modified Delphi study.
Purpose: This study sought to establish expert consensus on the use of cortical bone trajectory (CBT) for lumbar pedicle screws.
Overview Of Literature: The CBT technique is widely used in the treatment of various degenerative lumbar diseases because it reduces surgical time, soft tissue exposure, and blood loss; improves biomechanical stability; and allows for faster patient recovery.

Purpose: To introduce the surgical methods and clinical results of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) combined with hollow screw placement as a treatment for patients with Kummell's disease and pedicle rupture.
Methods: From January 2020 to January 2023, a total of 10 patients with Kummell's disease and pedicle rupture confirmed via imaging underwent three-column intensive therapy using hollow screws combined with PVP. There were two males and eight females with an average age 75.

Background: Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) has not shown superior benefit overall in cost-effectiveness during adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery.
Study Design/setting: Retrospective PURPOSE: Generate a risk score for pseudarthrosis to inform the utilization of rhBMP-2, balancing costs against quality of life and complications.
Methods: ASD patients with 3-year data were included.

Severe sharp angular kyphosis resulting from Pott's disease typically necessitates surgical intervention. The deployment of three-column osteotomy within the lesion and apical regions has been validated as an effective modality for the amelioration of angular kyphosis. Nonetheless, a propensity for residual kyphosis persists, accompanied by a significant perioperative risk profile.
