Use of a 3D-printed body surface percutaneous puncture guide plate in vertebroplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) has been used widely to treat osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). However, it has many disadvantages, such as excessive radiation exposure, long operation times, and high cement leakage rates. This study was conducted to explore the clinical effects and safety of the use of a three-dimensional (3D)-printed body-surface guide plate to aid PVP for the treatment of OVCFs.

Methods

This prospective cohort study was conducted with patients with OVCFs presenting between October 2020 and June 2021. Fifty patients underwent traditional PVP (group T) and 47 patients underwent PVP aided by 3D-printed body-surface guide plates (3D group). The following clinical and adverse events were compared between groups: the puncture po
