Comparison of Clinical Effects Between Bipedicular and Unipedicular Approach to Vertebroplasty (Kyphoplasty) for Senior Os-teoporosis Vertebral Compressive Fractures
Abstract：Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and clinical value of bipedicular and unipedicular approach to vertebroplasty ( kyphoplasty ) in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compressive fracture .Methods A study was carried out on 81 patients , 33 cases were treated by PVP via a bipedicular approach ( bipedicular group ) and 48 cases were treated by unipedicular approach ( unipedicular group).The clinical efficacy of two groups was evaluated .Results All preoperative positive symptoms were relieved greatly and the result had statistical significance .Amount of bone cement injected of observation group was higher than control group , and the difference had sta-tistical significance.The leakage rate of bone cement between two groups had no statistical difference .Conclusion Both unipedicular and bipedicular approach to vertebroplasty (kyphoplasty) get functional recovery, pain relief, deformity correction and quality of life improve-ment.Bone cement diffusion of bipedicular approach to vertebroplasty is superior than unipedicular approach to vertebroplasty .
