Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of the combined application of percutaneous vertebroplasty and zoledronic acid on bone mineral density (BMD), bone metabolism, neuropeptide Y (NPY) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in elderly patients with osteoporotic lumbar vertebral compression fracture (OVCF).
Methods: The medical records of 118 elderly patients with OVCF who received treatment at our hospital from March 2018 to March 2020 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Vertebral body height, spinal function, pain degree, and lumbar BMD were compared between the two groups upon admission and three years after the operation. Additionally, the levels of bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-(OH)D), beta collagen degradation fragments (β-CTx), neuropeptide Y (NPY), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the two groups were measured at admission and three years after the operation. Furthermore, complications in the two groups within three years after the operation were documented.
Results: After three years post-operation, the combination group showed a significantly greater improvement in vertebral body height compared to the control group (P<0.05). Moreover, the combination group exhibited a significantly lower Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score compared to the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: In elderly patients with OVCF, the combined use of zoledronic acid and percutaneous vertebroplasty is effective in improving lumbar function, BMD, and bone metabolism indices, while reducing pain and the levels of NPY and PGE2.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions (JMNI) is an academic journal dealing with the pathophysiology and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. It is published quarterly (months of issue March, June, September, December). Its purpose is to publish original, peer-reviewed papers of research and clinical experience in all areas of the musculoskeletal system and its interactions with the nervous system, especially metabolic bone diseases, with particular emphasis on osteoporosis. Additionally, JMNI publishes the Abstracts from the biannual meetings of the International Society of Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions, and hosts Abstracts of other meetings on topics related to the aims and scope of JMNI.
