Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the treatment of Kummell disease. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 11 patients with Kummell disease treated by PKP between January 2013 and January 2016. There were 8 males and 3 females with an average age of 72.3 years old ranging from 64 to 78. The injured vertebra was located at T₁₁ in 2 patients, T₁₂ in 3, and L₁ in 6. All the patients suffered from lower back pain for 2.5-15.0 months averaging 7.6 months. Preoperative CT and MRI examinations showed that there were clear signs of intravertebral vacuum cleft and abnormal fluid signals. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and the height and kyphotic angle of the injured vertebral body were measured to evaluate the clinical outcomes before and after surgery. Results Follow-up was conducted for all 11 patients. Cement leakage occurred in 4 patients with no symptoms. The vertebral height, Cobb angel of the injured vertebra, VAS and ODI improved significantly after surgery and during the latest follow-up. Compared with those parameters after surgery, only VAS score was different during the latest follow-up. Conclusion PKP is safe and effective in the treatment of Kummell disease.
