Abstract

It is well known that the most frequent complication of osteoporosis is compression fractures of vertebral bodies. In addition to brittleness of the bones and mechanical stress, more and more evidence approving that compression fractures of vertebral bodies are related to many risk factors, such as aging, sex, concomitant morbidities of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and lifestyle (chronic smoking and alcohol consumption) are collected. Objective. Analyzing the condition of spines of the patients suffering from compression fractures of vertebral bodies on the background of osteoporosis after the performed Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV). Methods. 553 patients who underwent hospital treatment at the spine pathology clinic of the Sytenko Institute of Spine and Joint Pathology (2005–2022) and underwent PV were examined. Results. The patients were divided into three groups depending on the number of damaged vertebrae. The 1st group included the patients with compression fractures of one vertebra (185 — 33.4 %); the 2nd group included the patients having 2 or 3 deformed vertebrae (216 — 39 %); and the 3rd group included the patients with 4–5 damaged vertebrae (152 — 27.4 %). Stages of compression of vertebral bodies during the X-ray morphometry was as follows before the surgery: I — 349 (24 %) vertebrae; II — 494 (34 %); III — 552 (38 %); and IV — 58 (4 %). We achieved the reduction of the level of compression of vertebral bodies as a result of PV in 20 % of cases (patients who noticed the manifestation of the pain syndrome within 2 weeks mostly suffered from these deformations). Conclusions. The results of analysis of PV of 553 patients
with composite material and bone cement in the near and far future provide us an opportunity to state that this surgical treatment is an efficient and safe treatment method (despite the materials used). 40 (24 %) patients out of 165 patients of the group I, 52 (33 %) patients out of 157 patients of the group II and 54 (44 %) patients our of 133 patients of the group III were diagnosed with repeated compression fractures. Summarizing all the above, we should note that the more compression fractures the patient has, the higher the risk of further augmentation of other deformations of vertebral bodies is.
