The result of percutaneous vertebroplasty in treatment of recent osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures
Main Article Content
Abstract
SUMMARY
Purpose: To assess short-term outcomes in patients with recent osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty.
Methods: About 15 patients suffered from recent osteoporotic vertebral fractures underwent the percutaneous vertebroplasty
between April 2012 and October 2013 at Radiology Department,
Bach Mai hospital. The average age of patients was 75.9 years (14
womens). Measurements of pain and mobility were compared at 1
day, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after the procedure.
Results: Pain scores were significantly reduced compared with before treatment at every follow-up period. The preprocedural
mean VAS score was 9.1. At follow-up, mean VAS scores ranged
from 2.2 to 4.8. The pre-treatment mean RDQ score was 18.8 and
it ranged from 8.9 to 11 at follow-up.
Conclusion: Percutaneous vertebroplasty offers significant
benefits in relief pain and improve mobility for recent osteoporotic vertebral fractures.
