dc.description.abstractObjective: This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous pedicle screw fixation (PPSF) combined with percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for the treatment of the thoracolumbar vertebral compression fracture (VCF) without neurologic deficits. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective observational study. Between January 2015 and December 2018, 62 patients who had suffered from traumatic thoracolumbar (VCF) burst fractures without neurologic deficits were included in this study. The patients were divided into two groups as follows: patients who underwent PPSF combined with PVP (PPSF-PVP Group; n = 24) and patients who underwent only PPSF (PPSF Group; n = 38). The patients were (PPSF and PPSF-PVP Group) followed up for more than 9 months. The kyphotic angle, compression ratio, and visual analog scale (VAS) score for back pain were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results: The patients were followed up for an average of 9.1 months. Hospital stay significantly decreased in PPSF-PVP Group (P < 0.001). The median VAS score significantly decreased after the surgery in both the groups (P < 0.005), and mean VAS scores in PPSF-PVP Group were significantly lower than those in PPSF Group. No significant (P > 0.005) changes in local kyphosis and the vertebral body height gains obtained at the end of the follow-up period in PPSF-PVP Group. However, local kyphosis increased significantly (P < 0.005) and the central and anterior vertebral body height decreased significantly (P < 0.005) when compared with the PPSF-PVP Group. Conclusion: PPSF combined with PVP procedure is a good choice for the treatment of traumatic thoracolumbar VCF; however, due to the lack of long-term follow-up data, concern still exists regarding the effects of pedicle screw procedure after PVP.
