Abstract：Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of percutaneous kyphoplasty(PKP) in the treatment of the senile with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.Methods Clinical data of 58 elderly cases with vertebral compression fractures performed PKP operation from Sept. 2011 to Dec. 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. In which, 21 cases were fracture of lumbar vertebra and 27 cases were fracture of thoracic vertebra. The vertebral body reduction after operation, the operative complications and clinical efficacy were observed.Results Pain relief was achieved in all patients the first day after the operation, the X-ray film after 2-3 days showed 56 patients were satisfied with the restoring of the vertebra height, the Cobb′s angle correction was 12°-30°(average 16°). They performed off-bed activities with corset for 3-4 days after the operation. There were no complications such as the spinal cord injury, posterior vertebral wall leakage or pulmonary embolism. No recurrence was found in 58 cases during the follow up period for 3-5 months and no vertebra height lose. Cure occurred in 48 cases, improvement in 8 cases and effectiveness in 2 cases, the excellent and good rate was 96.5% (56/58).Conclusions PKP can quickly relieve pain, restore vertebral body height as well as strength and it enables patients to perform the early ambulation, reduces the occurrence of complications, and therefore, it is worth popularizing as a minimally invasive spinal operation.
