Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect differences of percutaneous vertebroplasty and conservative treatment in aged osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures.
MethodsA total of 106 cases of aged osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures patients from April 2014 to February 2016 were selected, among whom 53 cases with conservative treatment as control group and 53 cases with routine percutaneous vertebroplasty patients as observation group. The efficacy, vertebral Cobb angle change assessment before and after treatment of the two groups were observed.
ResultsThe total effective of observation group was higher than that of control group, the difference was significant (P<0.05); the postoperative VAS score and Cobb angle in observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, the differences were significant (P<0.05).
ConclusionsLumbar spine in elderly osteoporotic compression fractures, compared with conservative treatment of percutaneous vertebroplasty can effectively contribute to the restoration of the vertebral body shape. It can minimize the pain intensity of the patients, help patients recover as soon as possible, and has a very active role to improve life quality of patients.
