This study evaluated bone-cement binding for thoracolumbar fractures using a new assessment method and found that patients who underwent early PVP had better bone-cement integration and fewer adjacent fractures.
BACKGROUND: Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is widely used for treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). However, the influence of PVP timing (early vs. late) on development of adjacent vertebral fractures has rarely been discussed. This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate bone-cement binding for thoracolumbar fractures (T8-L3) using a new assessment method to predict risk for adjacent vertebral fractures. METHODS: Patients with a single-level T-score -1.0 pound of lumbar bone mineral density and a primary osteoporotic VCF in the thoracolumbar region (T8-L3) who underwent PVP from October 2016 to February 2018 at our medical niversity-affiliated hospital were included. Patients were divided into refracture and non-refracture groups. All patients underwent computed tomography after vertebroplasty. Bone-cement distribution patterns were evaluated using standardized axial computed tomography images of each cemented vertebra by 4 independent observers with ImageJ software. The smoothness index was calculated as a percentage of smooth margins. RESULTS: Of 51 VCFs, 15 (29.4%) and 36 (70.6%) were refracture and non-refracture VCFs, respectively. The mean smoothness index (MSI) was higher in the refracture group than in the non-refracture group (P < 0.01), with an increased refracture risk that corresponded to increased MSI values (P = 0.004). Spearman correlation coefficient (0.375) showed a positive correlation between the fracture-vertebroplasty interval and MSI (P = 0.01). -CONCLUSIONS: Axial computed tomography images were used to characterize bone-cement binding properties. Patients who underwent early PVP had a lower MSI, better bone-cement integration, and fewer adjacent fractures.
