Therapeutic effects analysis of percutaneous kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures: A multicentre study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP), a minimally invasive treatment, has been widely used for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs).

Objective

To retrospectively analyse the therapeutic effects of PKP using a series of key techniques in a multicentre study.

Methods

From May 2000 to December 2016, PKP was performed using a series of key techniques (puncture, reduction, and perfusion techniques) for the treatment of 4532 OVCF patients. The pain visual analog scale (VAS) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire prior to the operation, at postoperative Day 2, and at the last follow-up were analysed by paired t-test analysis. The leakage of bone cement was evaluated by postoperative radiography and/or computed tomography. Four-year surviva
