After 10 years, more than 400 patients have been successfully cured. The Department of Bone Ⅰ has achieved promising results in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures in the elderly by applying percutaneous vertebroplasty. Vertebral compression fracture is one of the common complications of osteoporosis. Due to osteoporosis in the elderly, the compressive strength of the vertebral body decreases significantly, and a slight weight-bearing or fall can lead to a vertebral compression fracture. The main clinical manifestations are pain in the low back (aggravated by turning and bending) and inability to bear weight. In the past, conservative treatment was mostly used, including bed rest and pain relief, but long-term bed rest can lead to many complications. In recent years, minimally invasive vertebroplasty has greatly improved clinical outcomes due to advances in imaging and spine surgery techniques. Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), in which bone cement is injected percutaneously into the vertebral body through the pedicle, is performed to enhance the strength and stability of the vertebral body, prevent collapse, relieve low back pain, and even partially restore the height of the vertebral body. The operation is performed under local anesthesia, combined with advanced X-ray fluoroscopy for positioning of the vertebral arch, percutaneous puncture of the vertebral arch to complete the operation, the puncture needle hole is only 2mm, the operation time is only 20-30 minutes, the patient’s pain is immediately relieved after the operation, 2-3 days after the operation to the ground, basic self-care. The surgery is done in foreign hospitals with only surgical instruments of more than 10,000 yuan, while the total cost of surgery and hospitalization in our department is only about 5,000 yuan, and the patient only needs to be hospitalized for 3 days after the surgery. It has the characteristics of high safety, low risk, short operation time and low cost. Among all patients, the oldest was 85 years old and the youngest 53 years old, with fracture sites ranging from thoracic 4 to all lumbar vertebrae. Since its inception, percutaneous vertebroplasty has been well received by patients, as it allows the injured “spine” to be “straightened” quickly and is the best option for patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
