To examine the clinical effects of a new bone cement composed of poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)and mineralized collagen(MC)compared with pure PMMA bone cement in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures(...To examine the clinical effects of a new bone cement composed of poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)and mineralized collagen(MC)compared with pure PMMA bone cement in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures(OVCFs)in patients aged over 80.In all,32 cases using pure PMMA bone cement and 31 cases using MC-modified PMMA(MC-PMMA)bone cement for OVCFs between June 2014 and March 2016 were screened as PMMA group and MC-PMMA group,respectively,with an average age of over 80.The operation duration,intraoperative blood loss,hospital stay,oswestry disability index(ODI),visual analogue scale(VAS),anterior vertebral height(AVH),intermediate vertebral height(IVH)and posterior vertebral height(PVH)of injured vertebrae,vertebral computed tomography value,re-fracture rate of adjacent vertebrae,correction rate of spinal kyphotic angle and wedge-shaped vertebra angle and surgical complications were compared between the two groups.In the early post-operative period,the VAS,ODI,AVH and IVH in MC-PMMA group were comparable to those in the traditional PMMA group.Moreover,the MC-PMMA group showed better effects compared with the PMMA group 12months after surgery.Thus,this new bone cement has superior clinic effects in the long term.展开更多
