Impact of Kyphoplasty Treatment for Vertebral Compression Fractures on Pain and Function in 105 Patients
Original language description
Vertebral compression fractures are very common. Symptomatic relief with conservative therapy is often difficult to achieve. Balloon kyphoplasty is a relatively new technique which stabilises the vertebral body and restores spinal alignment in recent fractures, it achieves significant pain relief and improved functional outcome is reported. The aim of this prospective study was to determine the level of pain relief and functional outcome in patients who were initially treated conservatively for 4-6 weeks and if symptoms did not have tendency to resolve, then had kyphoplasty surgery. 105 patients underwent balloon kyphoplasty between April 2006 and August 2010 and had 1 year follow up. Total 170 levels were augmented, 65% (n=68) of patients were femaleand the average age was 74 years. Pain relief was assessed using visual analogue score (VAS) and functional outcome using Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Pain relief and improvement of functional outcome was sustained after one year. Lim
