Factors predicting the outcome after percutaneous vertebroplasty.

Dr Shubhendu Das, Dr Anant Kumar Garg

Abstract :

This study was carried out to study the role of verteoplasty in compression fractures of the verteae, the pre-operative factors that affect the functional outcome after verteoplasty and the complications arising from the procedure. We performed Verteoplasty under local anesthesia using the trans-pedicular approach. The pain relief and improvement in quality of were documented. The outcomes were studied with respect to various pre-operative patient variables.patients had excellent functional outcome as per the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire and an excellent pain relief as per VAS scores. Cement extravasation in as our only complication. There were no cases of neurologic or cardiopulmonary complications in any of the patients.A high pre-operative kyphosis angle and wedge angle are very important predictors of the functional outcome after verteoplasty. Prior history of fragility fractures is another factor predicting a poor outcome after verteoplasty. Cement extravasation does not co-relate with the functional outcome.
