Effect of percutaneous vertebroplasty through UTPP approach on prognosis and quality of life in elderly patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To explore the clinical characteristics of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) via unilateral transverse process-pedicular (UTPP) approach in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) in the elderly.

Methods

A total of 120 elderly patients with lumbar OVCF who underwent PVP via unilateral pedicular (UTP) and UTPP approaches in our hospital from January 2022 to January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The postoperative VAS score (visual analog scale), ODI score (Oswestry disability index), surgical indicators, and imaging indicators were recorded in the two groups.

Results

The VAS scores and ODI scores of the two groups of patients were lower than those before surgery 1 day, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery (P < 0.05). The amo
