Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of Percutaneous vertebroplasty combined preprocedure orthopaedic positioning in
treating fresh vertebral compression fractures.
Methods: From January 2012 to May 2014, the data of 31 patients (23 females, 8 males; mean age, 72 years) with
new vertebral compression fractures were prospectively and retrospectively analyzed. At least 6h before vertebroplasty produc e, the patients were positioned to straighten the vertebral column. The radiographies of spinal column is face and lateral view before and post produce were analyzed to evaluate the vertebral body height, as well as scoliosis. Effectiveness of pain-relief was evaluated based on Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
Results: The proportion of stem height increased after treatment was 21.7% average, the body height vertebral of compression fractures in these patients was improved by a mean of 56.2%. We achieved a mean improvement of the wedge angle 5.9o
and the cobb angle 4,90 (p < 0.05). The VAS score is significantly improved (mean 7.8 before and 1,6 after procedure, p < 0.05).
Conclusions: The combination between pre-procedure positioning and vertebroplasty brought good results in pain relief
and height of vertebral body.
