Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Vertebroplasty using over 4 cc of cement or with air clefts in fractured vertebrae can lead to gradual height loss. This height decrease may worsen kyphosis, necessitating longer follow-up even without severe pain.

Background:

Vertebroplasty effectively treats vertebral compression fractures but can lead to gradual height loss and kyphotic changes.
This height decrease may occur without severe pain, complicating monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify risk factors for gradual vertebral height decrease after vertebroplasty in patients without recurrent severe pain.
To understand factors contributing to post-vertebroplasty vertebral height loss.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 44 patients with single-level thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fractures treated with vertebroplasty.
Evaluation of risk factors including cement volume, cement leakage, air clefts, BMD, BMI, sex, age, and fracture level.

Main Results:

Gradual vertebral height decrease was common with >4 cc cement injection and presence of air clefts.
Increased sagittal Cobb angle during follow-up was associated with these cases.

Conclusions:

Injection of >4 cc cement and pre-existing air clefts are significant risk factors for post-vertebroplasty vertebral height decrease.
Extended follow-up is crucial for patients with these risk factors, irrespective of pain levels.
