Precooling storage of bone cement in percutaneous vertebroplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to investigate the effect of precooling storage of bone cement in percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP) for the patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF).

Methods

A total of 207 OVCF patients who underwent PVP were included in this study. Two different storage methods for the bone cement were randomly utilized: an operating room (NT group, 23 °C) and a refrigerator (PC group, 4 °C). Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores. In addition, radiographic evaluations were performed using anterior vertebral height and Cobb angle.

Results

The time of cement infusion was 10.8 ± 2.1 min in the PC group, which was significantly longer compared to the NT group (6.9 ±
