Percutaneous mesh-container-plasty for osteoporotic thoracolumbar burst fractures: A prospective, nonrandomized comparative study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiological results of percutaneous mesh-container-plasty (PMCP) versus percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar burst fractures.

Methods

A prospective study of 122 patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar burst fractures was conducted. The patients were nonrandomly assigned to receive PKP (62; 16 men, 46 women) and PMCP (60; 14 men, 46 women). The epidemiological data, surgical outcomes, and clinical and radiological features were compared between the 2 groups. Cement leakage, height restoration, deformity correction, canal compromise, and cement distribution were calculated from the radiographs.
