Filter by:The objective of this Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up Study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Tripod-Fix in the treatment of vertebral compression fractures (VCF) resulting from osteoporosis.
This study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Tripod-Fix with Tecres Mendec® Spine HV System to treat subjects with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
The interventional radiology department of the Strasbourg University Hospital performs approximately 1,000 vertebral cementoplasties per year. This is one of the most practiced procedures in the department and therefore exposes the professionals in the room to significant annual cumulative doses of irradiation. The objective of the study is to evaluate the interest of continuous visual monitoring of the fluoroscopy time by the operator on the dose delivered to the patient during an interventional radiology procedure performed under fluoroscopic control. The chosen reference examination is a single-level vertebral cementoplasty, a standardized examination that is frequent enough to allow easy data collection
"Retrospectively collecting clinical data from post-PVA (Percutaneous Vertebroplasty) patients, recording incidences of secondary vertebral fractures, and conducting statistical analysis to create a risk prediction model for recurrent fractures."
Background : Vertebral fracture is the most common complication of osteoporosis. Vertebroplasty is a widespread treatment modality for osteoporotic vertebral fractures, providing consolidation, rapid pain relief and preventing secondary vertebral collapse. Performing a biopsy at the same time as the operation does not lengthen the procedure or increase the risk of complications. The question therefore arises as to whether it is cost-effective diagnostically: are non-osteoporotic vertebral lesions detected when biopsies are taken? Methods: The investigators carried out a single-centre retrospective study at Nice University Hospital. From January 2016 to March 2022, 1729 biopsies were performed during 1439 vertebroplasty procedures on 1120 patients. The pre-operative laboratory work-up included a blood count, a C-reactive protein assay and a coagulation test. The imaging work-up systematically included MRI, unless contraindicated, in which case CT alone was performed. Vertebroplasty was performed in an interventional CT suite under dual CT and fluoroscopic guidance. The systematic biopsy sample was then sent to the anatomopathology department for analysis. Findings : The samples detected cancer in 35 patients, including 5 (0.44%) for whom the pre-operative work-up had not raised any suspicion. All the incidental findings were haemopathies, including 4 myelomas and one lymphoma. Conclusion : These results highlight the good performance of MRI in distinguishing osteoporotic vertebral fractures from solid tumour metastases. However, an exhaustive pre-operative work-up does not seem to be able to formally rule out an underlying malignant lesion. The investigators therefore recommend that biopsies be taken systematically when performing vertebroplasty.
The purpose of this randomized double-blind clinical trial is to determine the efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in relieving severe pain in patients with MRI-verified acute or sub-acute osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) compared to sham as well as examine the socio-economic implications associated with performing vertebroplasty. The primary outcome is improvement of pain intensity as measured on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS, 0 to100) 12 weeks after treatment. Secondary outcomes include patient-reported back-related disability, patient-reported quality of life, spinal sagittal balance, complications associated with the procedure, incidence of new OVCFs and socioeconomic costs.
This study is a multicenter, prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial using a parallel two-arm design to investigate whether the postoperative 6-month quality of life, vertebral stability, complication of patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (Kummell's disease) are better with the use of stent screw internal fixation and percutaneous bone cement reconstruction technique compared to patients undergoing traditional percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) for vertebral augmentation
The purpose of this study is to reveal the effectiveness and safety of integrative Korean medicine for Acute Vertebral Compression Fracture in-patients by observing inpatients treated with integrative Korean medicine. This study is a retrospective observational study. The subjects for study are patients diagnosed with Acute Vertebral Compression Fracture and who have been admitted to four Jaseng Hospital of Korean medicine (Gangnam, Bucheon, Daejeon, and Haeundae) for 2016.04.01-2022.06.30. Medical records of selected patients will be analyzed, and telephone surveys will be conducted for each patient. The survey questions are Numeric ratinc scale (NRS), Oswestry Disability Index(ODI), quality of life, and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC), etc.
The overall purpose of conducting this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of V-Flex and V-Steady for augmentation of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and to verify that adding a cement softener into a PMMA bone cement is comparable to a PMMA bone cement alone (V-Steady).
Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes and radiological parameters of patients undergoing percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) versus those undergoing percutaneous vertebral-disc plasty (PVDP) for back pain, segmental instability, and kyphosis due to thoracolumbar very severe osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (vsOVCFs). This prospective study included elderly patients with thoracolumbar vsOVCFs. All the patients were randomly allocated into the PVP group (who underwent conventional PVP) and the PVDP group (who underwent PVP combined percutaneous cement discoplasty). The visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), local kyphosis angle, and disc height were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively.
