 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 13 PMMA percutaneous perfusion therapy of osteoporotic vertebral compression Fractures Of: on the Kun Tang, car Gui, He Weiming, Terry Yao, Wang Gang, Cheng Yung [Abstract] Objective To investigate the percutaneous perfusion methyl methacrylate (PMMA line vertebroplasty (PVP treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF clinical applications and efficacy. Methods of osteoporotic vertebral 15 patients with 19 vertebral compression fractures, including spine 14, thoracic 5, the use of PMMA bone cement (powder liquid ratio of 3:2 Traveling percutaneous perfusion PVP, using X-ray CT images added into the PMMA biopsy method to observe the follow-up and treatment evaluation in accordance with international VAS score. Results PVP surgery average per vertebral injection of bone cement 5.5 ml, 6 cases of leakage outside the vertebral body appeared, 13 patients (16 vertebrae) vertebral height did not change, 86.7% pain relief (13/15), motor function recovery and improvement rate was 73.3% (11/15). PVP postoperative pain medication is not used in 10 cases, the use of non-steroidal pain medication in 5 cases, no serious complications and need special treatment . Conclusion perfusion line PMMA PVP surgery can effectively relieve the pain OVCF is a safe and effective technique, with a simple surgical procedures enhance the vertebral body strength, rapidly relieve pain, fewer complications, it is widely used.
