- PURPOSE
To assess the clinical and functional outcome of the patients who underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty with bone cement for the osteoporotic compression fracture and who had been followed up for minimum 1 year.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Among 110 patients who had been undergone percutaneous vertebroplasty with bone cement for osteoporotic compression fracture in Gangneung Asan Hospital from January 2001 to August 2002, 75 patients who had been followed up for more than 1 year were selected. And retrospectively, we analyzed the clinical and radiographic finding of 1 year, 2 year and 3 year follow-up. The patients were divided into 3 groups, the first group who have follow-up period of the from 1 to 2 years had 75 patients, the second group who the from 2 to 3 years, 49 patients, and the third group who the more than 3 years, 20 patients. We graded the clinical results to excellent, good, normal, fair and poor. Also, we assessed the height of vertebral body, the adjacent vertebral body fracture and the leakage of bone cement.
RESULTS
74 patients (98.6%) had the excellent or good results postoperatively. 69 patients (92%) of the first group, 46 patients (93.8%) of the second group and 16 patients (80%) of the third group had excellent or good results at last follow-up. There was no statistical correlation of each groups (p>0.05). In first group, the average height of body was 71.1% preoperatively, 73.5% postoperatively and 73.5% at follow-up. In second group, 71.5%, 75.5%, and 73.1%. In third group, 71.2%, 78.0% and 77.8%. There was no significant statistical correlation of each groups (p>0.05). 47cases (38.8%) had some leakage of cement immediate postoperatively. In 4 cases (7 vertebra), there were adjacent vertebral body fractures.
CONCLUSION
Based on the results of our study, percutaneous vertebroplasty is a useful method in the treatment for the osteoporotic compression fracture of vertebra body.

Abstract
PDF
- PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results of treatment of comminuted femoral trochanteric fracture using dynamic hip screw(DHS) with trochanteric stabilizing plate(TSP) and DHS only.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
we analysed retrospectively 32 cases that has fracture extends over two or more levels of medial cortex(A2 of AO classification) and fracture extends through lateral cortex of femur(A3 of AO classicification) of femoral trochanteric fractures between 1997 and 2000. On simple AP radiograph of the DHS with TSP(n=16) and DHS only group(n=16), we reviewed bony union, slippage of lag screw, lateral displacement of greater trochanter.
RESULT
Bony union was observed in all cases. When bony union is done in follow up radiograph, Mean slippage of lag screw is 14.5mm in DHS only group, 12.6mm in DHS with TSP group and mean lateral displacement of greater trochanter is 9.8mm in DHS only group, 1.2mm in DHS with TSP group.
CONCLUSION
Use of DHS with TSP in comminuted femoral trochanteric fracture is lesser slippage of lag screw and lateral displacement of greater trochanter than DHS only used, and that is better method to maintain fracture reduction and internal fixation in treatment of comminuted femoral trochanteric fractures than DHS only.

Abstract

- PURPOSE
Percutaneous vertebroplasty is the procedure of bone cement injection and allogenous bone graft for pain relief in case of compression fracture, hemangioma etc. Recently, osteoporotic compression fracture increases as the old age increase. We analyzed the postoperative clinical symptoms and radiologic findings.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From Jan. 2000 to Apr. 2001, we have analyzed 111 osteoporotic compression fractures(59 patients) at Kangneung hospital. Before the procedure, we checked BMD, bone scan and CT. Most common fracture site was the thoracolumbar junction area. Fluoroscopic control was necessary for the cement injection to prevent cement leakage. The amount of cement injection was 4.7ml. We have studied the increase of vertebral body height, symptom recovery time & pain relief, postoperative complications.
RESULT
The vertebral body height was increased from 55.5% to 70.3% postoperatively and the symptom was improved in 48 persons at POD 1, 3 persons at postoperative 2 weeks, and 4 persons at postoperative 2 months. Most common complication was cement leakage to the epidural vessel, disc space, and spinal canal. But serious complication-spinal canal leakage- was only 1 case and had been improved after decompression.
CONCLUSION
Percutaneous vertebroplasty with bone cement(PMMA) is effective treatment in osteoporotic compression fracture, especially in pain relief.
