Objectives: To explore the risk factors of residual back pain after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 675 patients with OVCF treated with PVP from January 2015 to January 2020. Postoperative back pain intensity was assessed by the VAS score. Residual back pain was defined as the presence of postoperative moderate-severe pain (average VAS score≥4), and the variables included patient characteristics, baseline symptoms, imaging data and operation-related factors. Risk factors were identified with univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.
Results: Residual back pain occurred in 46 of the 675 patients included in the study, with an incidence rate of 6.8%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low Pre-BMD (OR = 3.576, P = 0.041), multiple vertebral fractures (OR = 2.795, P = 0.026), posterior fascia injury (OR = 4.083, P = 0.032), cement diffusion volume rate <0.2 (OR = 3.507, P = 0.013), facet joint violation (OR = 11.204, P < 0.001), and depression (OR = 3.562, P = 0.035) were positively correlated with residual back pain after PVP.
Conclusions: Low pre-BMD (pre-bone mineral density), multiple vertebral fractures, posterior fascia injury, cement diffusion volume rate <0.2, facet joint violation and depression were the independent risk factors of residual back pain after PVP.

Background: There is no consensus on the association between final local kyphosis and residual back pain (RBP) after traumatic vertebral fracture. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is an association between the final local kyphosis angle and RBP in patients with traumatic vertebral fractures at the thoracolumbar junction who underwent single posterior surgery with percutaneous pedicle screws and implant removal after fracture healing. A second goal was to determine the optimal cut-off value for the final local kyphosis angle with and without RBP.

Objectives: Cancer or its treatment can have direct or indirect effects on sexual functions. Routine assessment of sexual functioning is essential in cancer patients to identify sexual problems and provide counseling to patients about these issues. This study aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire - Sexual Health 22 prepared for the assessment of sexual function in cancer patients.

Introduction: Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic drug commonly used in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Intravenous (IV) and topical TXA therapy have been extensively studied and shown to reduce blood loss, length of hospital stay, and blood transfusion rates following TKA. Despite the extensive literature regarding IV and topical TXA in orthopedics, there is a current dearth of studies analyzing oral usage.

Background: Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor known for its aggressive behavior and high recurrence rates, with male cases of AAM being less frequently reported. This study presents a rare case of primary prostatic AAM characterized by a prostatic urethral mass obstructing the bladder outlet, resulting in acute renal dysfunction.
Case Description: The 51-year-old male patient presented with lumbar pain, nausea, frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination.

Aim: This study aimed to explore the efficacy of open reduction and internal fixation assisted by handheld ultrasound combined with three-dimensional (3D) printing technology in treating multiple rib fractures.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data from 84 patients affected with multiple rib fractures admitted to our hospital between August 2022 and April 2024. After excluding four cases, 80 cases were included in this study.
