RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) caused by osteoporosis is a common clinical fracture type. There are many surgical treatment options for OVCF, but there is a lack of comparison among different options. Therefore, we counted a total of 104 cases of OVCF operations with different surgical plans, followed up the patients, and compared the surgical outcome indications before, after and during the follow-up. METHOD: 104 patients who underwent posterior osteotomy (Modified PSO, SPO, PSO, VCR) and kyphosis correction surgery at our hospital between April 2006 and August 2021 with a minimum follow-up period of 24 months were included. All cases were injuries induced by a fall incurred while standing or lifting heavy objects without high-energy trauma. The mean CT value was 71 HU, which was below 110 HU, indicating severe osteoporosis. The indications for surgery included gait disturbance due to severe pain with pseudarthrosis, increased kyphotic angle, and progressive neurological symptoms. Pre- and postoperative CL, TLK, TK, PrTK, TKmax, GK, LL, PI, SS, PT, SVA, TPA, were investigated radiologically. Additionally, We evaluated estimated blood loss, surgical time and perioperative symptom. RESULT: The results show, after operation, TLK (37.32 ± 10.61° vs. 11.01 ± 8.06°, P < 0.001), TK (35.42 ± 17.64° vs. 25.62 ± 12.24°, P < 0.001), TKmax (49.71 ± 16.32° vs. 24.12 ± 13.34°, P < 0.001), SVA (44.91 ± 48.67 vs. 23.52 ± 30.21, P = 0.013), CL (20.23 ± 13.21° vs. 11.45 ± 9.85°, P = 0.024) and TPA (27.44 ± 12.76° vs. 13.91 ± 9.24°, P = 0.009) were improved significantly in modified Pedicle subtraction osteotomy (mPSO) after operation. During follow-up, TLK (37.32 ± 10.61° vs. 13.88 ± 10.02°, P < 0.001) and TKmax (49.71 ± 16.32° vs. 24.12 ± 13.34°, P < 0.001) were improved significantly in Modified PSO group. In additon, estimated blood loss (790.0 ± 552.2 ml vs. 987.0 ± 638.5 ml, P = 0.038), time of operation (244.1 ± 63.0 min vs. 292.4 ± 87.6 min, P = 0.025) were favorable in Modified PSO group compared to control group. CONCLUSION: To conclude, mPSO could acquire a favorable degree of kyphosis correction as well as fewer follow-up complications. Compared with other surgical methods, it also has the advantages of less surgical trauma and shorter operation time. It can be an effective solution for the treatment of OVCF.
