Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
Percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP) has been widely used in treating symptomatic Schmorl’s nodes(SNs). However, there were still some patients with poor pain relief. At present, there is a lack of research to analyze the reasons for poor efficacy.
Methods
Review the SNs patients treated with PVP in our hospital from November 2019 to June 2022, collect their baseline data. Reverse reconstruction software was used to calculate the filling rate of bone edema ring(Rf). NRS score was used to evaluate pain and ODI to evaluate function. The patients were divided into remission group(RG) and non remission group(n-RG) according to symptom. In addition, according to the Rf, they were divided into excellent, good and poor groups. Differences between groups were investigated.
Results
A total of 26 vertebrae were included in 24 patients. When grouped according to symptoms, patients in n-RG were older, and surgical segments were tend to locate in lower lumbar spine. The proportion of Poor distribution was significantly higher. When grouped according to the cement distribution, the preoperative NRS and ODI of the three groups were comparable, but the NRS and ODI of Poor group were significantly worse than the Excellent and Good groups postoperatively and at the last follow-up.
Conclusions
The cement distribution may significantly affect the efficacy of PVP in treating symptomatic SNs. We suggest that the bone edema ring should be filled as fully as possible to ensure the efficacy. In addition, advanced age and low lumbar lesions are also adverse factors for clinical outcomes.
