English Abstract:
  【Abstract】 Objective:To evaluate the characteristics and effects of unilateral extrapedicular vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty in the treatment of upper and mid-thoracic vertebral fractures.Methods:Retrospective analysis of 39 vertebrae in 26 patients(M:F=8:18)who underwent unilateral extrapedicular vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures at upper and mid-thoracic vertebra between November 2004 and March 2010 in our hospital.The fracture vertebras is T3 1,T4 3,T5 4,T6 4,T7 6,T8 10,T9 6,T10 5.The mean age was 71.3±1.3 years.The average time of fracture was 3.5 weeks.One level was 17 cases,two levels were 5 cases and three levels were 4 cases.Clinical outcomes were evaluated using VAS.The rate of loss anterior and middle heights of the vertebral body,the rate of cement leakage and the rate of suitable puncture before and after operation were evaluated.Results:Twenty-seven levels were treated in 15 cases with PVP,and twelve levels were treated in 11 cases with PKP..The rate of cement leakage was 10.25%.All patients were followed up over 1 year.The VAS scores were 9.8±0.3 preoperatively and 5.7±0.4 of 1 day and 3.3±0.4 of final follow-up postoperatively(P<0.05).The anterior and middle vertebral height restoration were 63.1±18.6% and 68.5±25.3% respectively(P<0.05).Conlusions:Unilateral extrapedicular vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty were safety in the treatment of upper and mid-thoracic vertebral compression fractures.The osteous track should be measured on three-dimensional CT images before PVP and PKP.
