ABSTRACT
Antecedentes y objetivos: La correlación entre el equilibrio sagital de la columna y el resultado clínico tras una vertebroplastia (VP) en pacientes con fractura vertebral osteoporótica por compresión (FVOC) ha sido poco estudiada. Analizamos el resultado clínico de la VP en pacientes con FVOC teniendo en cuenta el equilibrio sagital. Material y método: El objetivo primario es valorar el cambio en el dolor axial, la discapacidad y la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud mediante la escala analógica visual (VAS), índice de discapacidad de Oswestry (ODI) y el test SF-36, respectivamente. Todo ello, correlacionado con el eje sagital vertical (SVA) que define el equilibrio sagital. El estudio radiográfico consistió en una radiografía de perfil de columna completa en bipedestación. Los controles clínico-radiológicos se realizaron pre- y post-VP (1, 3 y 12 meses). Resultados: Se incluyeron 51 pacientes con un total de 113 FVOC; 30 pacientes (60,7%) presentaron múltiples FVOC. Comparando la evolución del resultado del VAS y del ODI durante el seguimiento no se observaron diferencias significativas entre los grupos de pacientes con SVA<50mm y >50mm (p>0,05). Por el contrario, en pre-VP los resultados del SF-36 presentaban peores puntuaciones en el grupo de SVA>50mm en la sección de función física (FP) (p<0,05) y de componente de salud física (CSF) (p<0,05). Estas diferencias se mantenían hasta los 3 meses de seguimientos en CSF y hasta el final del seguimiento en la sección de FP (p<0,05). Conclusiones: Los pacientes con SVA>50mm presentan una recuperación más lenta de su calidad de vida relacionada con la salud tras VP por FVOC, pero sin diferencias significativas con respecto al dolor o discapacidad cuando se comparan con pacientes con SVA<50mm.(AU)
Background and objectives: The correlation between sagittal balance of the spine and clinical outcome after vertebroplasty (VP) in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) is poorly investigated. We analysed the clinical outcome of patients with OVCF undergoing VP taking into account sagittal balance. Material and method: The primary endpoint was the change in axial back pain, disability and health-related quality-of-life using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and SF-36, respectively, in correlation to the parameters that define sagittal balance (SVA). Radiographic assessment included full spine standing lateral films. Imaging and clinical data were collected pre- and post-procedure at 1, 3 and 12 months. Results: 51 patients were included presenting a total of 113 OVCF. 30 patients (60.7%) had multiple OVCF. Comparing the evolution of VAS and ODI throughout the follow-up it does not seem that there are significant differences in their behaviour between the SVA>50mm and the SVA<50mm groups (p>0.05). On the contrary, pre-VP SF-36 scores showed worst results in the SVA>50mm group in the physical functioning (PF) section (p<0.05) and in the physical component score (PCS) (p<0.05). These differences were maintained until 3 months of follow-up in the case of the PCS and until the end of follow-up in the case of the PF (p<0.05). Conclusions: Patients with a SVA>50mm showed a slower recovery of their quality-of-life after VP for OVCF, but without significant differences with respect to pain or disability, when compared patients with SVA<50mm.(AU)

ABSTRACT
La camptocormia y el sídrome de Pisa (pleurothotonus) se caracteriza por una postura anormal en el tronco, con una flexión de la columna toracolumbar de entre 15-45° durante la bipedestación y la marcha que se corrige completamente con el decúbito supino. Se asocia a la enfermedad de Parkinson y a otras enfermedades neurodegenerativas, siendo su fisiopatología incierta. Se presentan 3 casos de camptocormia secundaria a antipsicóticos atípicos (AU)
Camptocormia is an involuntary flexion between 15-45° of the thoracolumbar spine when standing, walking or sitting, which disappears completely in the supine position. Is associated to Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions, being its physiopatology unknown. We report three cases of atypical anti-psychotic induced camptocormia (AU)

Camptocormia is an involuntary flexion between 15-45° of the thoracolumbar spine when standing, walking or sitting, which disappears completely in the supine position. Is associated to Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions, being its physiopatology unknown. We report three cases of atypical anti-psychotic induced camptocormia.
