PURPOSE: To compare percutaneous transpedicular vertebroplasty using @entity78 cement (CPC) versus conservative treatment for @entity3604 . METHODS: Eight @entity1 and 28 @entity1 aged 61 to 99 (mean, 80) years with @entity3604 underwent percutaneous transpedicular vertebroplasty using CPC. During the same period, 6 @entity1 and 32 @entity1 aged 53 to 93 (mean, 77) years underwent conservative treatment. The indication for vertebroplasty was a @entity158 , with @entity6679 of the vertebral body shown on flexion and extension lateral radiographs. @entity174 without @entity6679 despite deformity were treated conservatively. RESULTS: In the vertebroplasty group, all @entity1 benefited from reduced back @entity158 immediately after surgery, and @entity158 relief was maintained at the latest follow-up. However, correction loss continued until one month after the operation. The mean visual analogue score for @entity158 decreased significantly from preoperation to one day after surgery (9.3 vs. 6.2, p=0.02), and further decreased to 2.8 (p = 0.04) on day 3 or 4 when ambulation began, and to 1.5 at the one month follow-up and 1.4 at the final follow-up (mean, 14 months). The mean duration of analgesic treatment was significantly shorter in the vertebroplasty than conservatively treated group (10.2 vs. 63.5 days). All @entity1 in the vertebroplasty group achieved bone union, with no adjacent @entity174 . However, in @entity1 having conservative treatment, there were 2 adjacent @entity174 and 4 @entity1516 , and the collapse continued for several months. CONCLUSION: Percutaneous transpedicular vertebroplasty using CPC achieves immediate @entity158 relief and reduces the risk of @entity891 and @entity1516 among elderly @entity1 with @entity3814 .
