TIME TO REVISIT ‘ABSOLUTE’ AND ‘RELATIVE’ CONTRAINDICATIONS OF VERTEBROPLASTY: A CASE SERIES OF 24 OSTEOPOROTIC VERTEBRA PLANA WITH POSTERIOR/ANTERIOR WALL-DEFECTED NEUROLOGICAL DEFICIT PATIENTS TREATED WITH VERTEBROPLASTY AND SHORT SEGMENT FIXATION

Abstract

Objectives

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of vertebroplasty with short segmented cement augmented pedicle screws fixation for severe osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) with posterior/anterior wall fractured patients.

Methods

A retrospective study of 24 patients of DGOU type-4 (vertebra plana) OVCF with posterior/anterior wall fracture, were treated by vertebroplasty and short segment PMMA cement augmented pedicle screws fixation. Radiological parameters (kyphosis angle and compression ratio) and clinical parameters Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were analysed.

Abstract

Objectives

The principle of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) is fixing instability, providing anterior support, and decompression. Contraindication for vertebroplasty is anterior or posterior wall fracture. The study objectives was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vertebroplasty with short segmented PMMA cement augmented pedicle screws for OVCF with posterior/anterior wall fracture patients.

Methods

A retrospective study of 24 patients of DGOU type-4 (vertebra plana) OVCF with posterior/anterior wall fracture, were treated by vertebroplasty and short segment PMMA cement augmented pedicle screws fixation. Radiological parameters (kyphosis angle and compression ratio) and clinical parameters Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were analysed.
