 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 14 Percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty for severe expansion of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures [Abstract] [Objective] To investigate the expanding balloon kyphoplasty (PKP treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures seriously the feasibility and efficacy. [Methods] Retrospective analysis of 15 cases (17 severe vertebral compression fracture patients after balloon expansion of vertebroplasty treatment. All the operations in the C-arm X-ray machine under the guidance of. preoperative and postoperative visual analog pain score, respectively, activity score, vertebral height measurement and Cobb ‘ s angle measurement. [Results] All operations were completed successfully without serious complications. VAS score improved from the 7.9 + -1. 3 down to after the 2. 5 + -0. 8 (P lt;0 . 05, activity scores from preoperative 3.2 + -0. 3 improved to postoperative 1. 3 + -0. 2 (P lt;0. 05, vertebral body height from the preoperative (0.9 + -0. 1cm, increased after operation (2. 5 + -0. 2 cm (P lt;0. 05, Cobb’s angle from preoperative to 32 ° + -7. 1 °, corrected to 22 after ° + -5. 3 ° (P lt;0. 05. significantly improved compared with before surgery, pain relief and function improved significantly. [Conclusion] PKP is a serious treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures is safe and effective, it is worth promoting application.

[Method] Data from 15 patient who suffered from severe vertebral compression fractures was retrospectively reviewed.Seventeen percutaneous kyphoplasty were performed under C arm X ray machine guidance.The clinical effects were evaluated by observing the charges of visual analog scale, locomotor activity scale, height
