Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Previous studies have widely reported the bone cement augmentation techniques used to directly strengthen the pedicle screws. It has been proved that cement-augmented pedicle screw fixation is associated with lower loosening rate and higher fusion rate. However, the use of cement can lead to cement leakage and pulmonary embolism, and need extra cost. Therefore, it is very important to identify the correlation between degree of osteoporosis and screw loosening risk , and to establish the indications for cement augmentation in osteoporotic patients.
The osteoporotic patients requiring posterior lumbar fusion with pedicle screw fixation are prospectively enrolled and followed up. The researchers will invite appropriate patients to participate in the study after their surgical plans are determined. General patients data are collected after informed consent, such as age, gender, weight, height, bone mineral density measured in T-scores and Hounsfield units, the mechanical strength of the bone mass within the screw trajectory, detailed surgical plans, and etc. They are followed up at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months according to our clinical routine, including lumbar x-ray and certain questions about the clinical outcomes. In addition, this study requires the patients to have lumbar CT scans because its advantage in judging the fusion status. In addition, the ODI and VAS scores are also routinely recorded.
The patients undergoing conventional pedicle screw fixation without cement augmentation are compared with those undergoing the fixation augmented with bone cement. The primary endpoints are the loosening rate and fusion rate at 12 months follow-up. The secondary endpoints are the loosening rate and fusion rate at other time point of follow-up , and the clinical outcomes(ODI and VAS) at every follow-up. We also explored the correlation between the BMD information measured with different methods and the patients outcomes, in order to find the high-risk patient group.
