Adequate Decompression

Experience in surgical treatment of 11 patients (1998-2008) with complicated compression fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine vertebral bodies on the background of osteoporosis has been presented. Mean age of patients was 58 years (from 37 to 74 years). The treatment consisted of the adequate decompression of spinal canal followed by correction and multilevel fixation of the spine with CDI system. Decision on the fixation extent was made with regard for the degree of bone mineral density and vertebral body injury. Follow up period made up 1-10 years. Long term treatment results were assessed clinically and roentgenologically. Correction of kyphosis was noted in all cases. In the late period slight loss of the achieved correction (within 12°) was observed but the patients did not complained of spinal pains. In patients operated on in early terms (up to 2 months) after neurologic complications development the more rapid regress of neurologic symptoms was noted. It was shown that differentiated approach to the choice of surgical technique enabled to achieve favorable results.

We retrospectively compared the clinical and radiological results of percutaneous vertebroplasty with those of conservative treatment in the management of thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fractures. Sixty-five patients who could be followed up for more than 2 years with thoracic and lumbar spine osteoporotic compression fractures, between January 2005 and October 2010, were reviewed. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the type of management: group 1, non-operated group treated conservatively; group 2, operated group that underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty. We assessed the clinical and radiological changes at postoperative and follow-up periods in both groups. The male-to-female ratio and mean age of the patients were 11:54 and 73.04 years (range, 50 – 90 years), respectively. The location and number of treated vertebrae were as follows: T4 = 1, T6 = 1, T7 = 3, T8 = 1, T9 = 2, T10 = 1, T11 = 8, T12 = 11, L1 = 17, L2 = 10, L3 = 6, L4 = 3, and L5 = 1. The mean T-score was -3.37. The overall VAS score and the VAS score until 6 months post-injury were statistically more improved in group 2 than in group 1 (P < 0.05 and P < 0.005, respectively). Overall, the compression ratio was statistically more improved in group 2 than in group 1 (P < 0.05). Early pain control and restoration of the compressed vertebral body are the beneficial and real effects of percutaneous vertebroplasty in patients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fractures.
