Abstract

Background: Compressive fracture of the vertebral spine often leads to severe back pain and disability. Cement vertebroplasty was considered the standard treatment for this condition. Objectives: To describe the short-term outcomes of vertebroplasty in an osteoporotic compressive fracture in Can Tho city from March 2021 to June 2022. Materials and methods: This was a descriptive study of 50 patients who had compressive fracture of osteoporotic vertebral spine and underwent cement vertebroplasty at Can Tho city. All results and complications after cement injection at 24 hours and 3 months were recorded according to the Visual Analog Scale and Macnab score. Results: There were 50 patients with 74 vertebrae cemented with an average amount of cement per vertebra of 4.7 ± 1.33 ml. The rate of cement infiltration in the vertebral body from 1/3 or more accounted for 90.6%. At 24 hours after injection, VAS score was 4.14 ± 1.11 points. The rate of complications from cement injection accounted for 9.5%, in these patients, no clinical symptom was recorded. The average Macnab score after 3 months with very good and good accounted for 88%. Conclusions: Bio-cement injection into the vertebrae is considered an effective and safe treatment for osteoporotic compressive fracture.
