Risk factors associated with bone cement leakage following percutaneous kyphoplasty: a retrospective analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) is a minimally invasive procedure in which bone cement is injected into a damaged vertebral body to rapidly alleviate pain and stabilize the spine. The most common complication associated with this procedure is bone cement leakage. Following leakage, compression can occur, potentially leading to severe clinical consequences such as paraplegia, spinal cord compression, cement pulmonary embolism, and even death. This study aims to analyze the risk factors for bone cement leakage in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) following PKP, and to develop a nomogram to predict the risk of recurrent fractures.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included 308 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fract
