目的 观察后路环形减压治疗胸腰椎爆裂骨折术后2～5年的临床疗效及并发症发生情况。 方法 回顾性分析2007年1月－2011年3月23例胸腰椎椎体爆裂骨折患者资料，23例患者存在骨折压迫硬膜合并神经症状，均予后路环形减压。术后定期随访，采用日本骨科协会评估治疗分数、美国脊髓损伤协会脊髓损伤分级评定临床疗效及神经功能改善情况，通过影像学资料观察脊柱Cobb角变化情况。 结果 23例患者手术顺利，经过2～5年的随访，出现术后脑脊液漏3例，尿路感染5例，经对症处理后好转。 结论 经椎弓根内侧行椎体后壁切除，可良好减压，避免神经挤压继发加重损伤，有利于神经功能恢复。
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) in the elderly. Methods The clinical data of 90 elderly patients with OVCF treated in Sichuan Science City Hospital between June 2019 and March 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into robot-assisted group (40 cases) and C-arm-assisted group (50 cases). The pre- and post-operative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, pre- and post-operative Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score, intraoperative cement leakage, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency, operation time, and the loss of hemoglobin were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results The incidence of intraoperative cement leakage (5% vs. 20%), intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency [(18.3±3.2) vs. (41.3±7.8) times], operation time [(28.3±4.6) vs. (43.2±7.3) min] and the loss of hemoglobin [(7.2±2.0) vs. (15.2±4.4) g/L] of the robot-assisted group were less than those of the C-arm-assisted group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the decrease of VAS score or ODI score (3.63±1.64 vs. 3.40±1.65, P>0.05; 50.70±4.95 vs. 52.10±6.69, P>0.05). Conclusions Robot-assisted PVP for elderly patients with OVCF can significantly reduce the risk of cement leakage, shorten the operation time, reduce the intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency, and reduce the surgical hidden blood loss. It can be used for clinical promotion and application.
