Abstract:Objective To evaluate the effect of fracture severity on cement leakage in percutaneous vertebroplasty.Methods A total of 1015 patients who underwent PVP for OVCF between November 2015 and June 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.According to the fracture severity grade,all the treated vertebrae were stratified into three groups: mild fracture (783 levels),moderate fracture (164 levels),and severe fracture (68 levels).The data on baseline of the three groups were comparable (P>0.05).According to the different potential sequelae,all cement leakage were classified into four types: through the basivertebral vein (type B),through the segmental vein (type S),through a cortical defect (type-C),and intradiscal leakage (type D).Furtherly,any cement leakage were divided into two types: the venous leakage and the cortical leakage,considering the different leakage mechanism.Results In mild,moderate,and severe fractures,the rate of type-B were 34.7%、25.6%、and 11.8%,respectively.The rate of typeS were 47.9%,34.1%,and 19.1%,respectively.The rate of type-C were 12.5%,20.7%,and 30.9%,respectively.The rate of type-D were8.3%,17.1%,and 29.4%,respectively.The rate of venous leakage were 61.4%,45.7%,and 25.0%,respectively.The rate of cortical leakage were 19.4%,35.4%,and 51.5%,respectively.There were significant differences among three groups on term of each type leakage mentioned above (P<0.05).However,there was no significant difference among three groups regarding the leakage in general (P>0.05),with the rate of 74.3%,68.9%,and 69.1%,respectively.Conclusion As fracture severity grade increased,the risk of leakage through vein decreased and the risk of leakage through cortex increased.However,there was no significant correlation between fracture severity and leakage in general.
