Abstract:Objective〓To evaluate the clinical efficacy of anterior debridement,bone graft fusion,and internal fixation combined with antiosteoporosis treatment in elderly patients with spinal tuberculosis and osteoporosis.Methods〓This study encompassed 98 elderly patients with spinal tuberculosis and osteoporosis who were treated from March 2021 to June 2022.Utilizing a random number table method,the patients were divided into two groups:The observation group,consisting of 48 patients (28 males and 20 females),with an average age of (65.35±8.20)years,ranging from 60 to 73 years old,and the control group,comprising 50 patients (28 males and 22 females),aged between 62 and 75 years,with a mean age of (67.20±7.60)years.Both groups underwent anterior debridement,bone graft fusion,and internal fixation,accompanied by antituberculosis treatment administered preand postoperatively for 12~18 months.The observation group additionally received antiosteoporosis treatment,encompassing calcium carbonate D3,alfacalcidol,and zoledronic acid injection,whereas the control group did not receive formal antiosteoporosis medication.Parameters such as surgical time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative bed rest duration,erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),visual analogue scale(VAS) for pain assessment,kyphotic Cobb angle,bone graft fusion time,postoperative complications,and bone mineral density (BMD) at the final followup were recorded and statistically analyzed.Results〓 All patients were followed up for a duration ranging from 13 to 17 months,with an average followup period of (14.00±2.30)months.The observation group demonstrated notable benefits from the antiosteoporosis treatment.Specifically,the postoperative bed rest time in the observation group was (3.95±0.76) weeks,which was considerably shorter than the (4.58±1.01) weeks required by the control group (P=0.027).At the sixmonth postsurgery mark,the ESR in the observation group measured at (27.60±3.40)mm/h,whereas the control group recorded an ESR of (30.20±2.97)mm/h (P=0.008).Additionally,the VAS in the observation group stood at (2.20±0.83),notably lower than the (3.40±0.77) score observed in the control group (P=0.001).Furthermore,the bone graft fusion time in the observation group was (3.95±0.43)months,significantly shorter compared to the (4.57±0.79)months in the control group (P=0.003).Regarding the correction degree of kyphotic Cobb angle,the observation group achieved (5.93±0.94)°,while the control group reached (6.73±1.80)°,although this difference was not statistically significant (P=0.081).Upon the final followup,the Tscore for osteoporosis in the observation group was (-2.40±0.39),which was significantly higher than the (-3.20±0.40) recorded in the control group (P<0.001).Lastly,the incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was 5.00%,which was lower than the 9.10% seen in the control group,albeit this difference was not statistically significant (P=0.662).Conclusion〓Anterior debridement,bone graft fusion,and internal fixation combined with formal antiosteoporosis treatment show significant advantages in postoperative recovery,inflammatory markers,osteoporosis,pain relief,and bone graft fusion in elderly patients with spinal tuberculosis and osteoporosis.This approach provides valuable insights for related clinical practices.
