How Do Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty Affect the Quality of Life of Patients with Multiple Myeloma Spinal Metastasis?
European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology(2020)
摘要
Background Metastatic spinal lesions are diseases that impair the quality of life and require early diagnosis and treatment. The count of spinal metastasis patients rises day by day. Increased life expectancy has increased the incidence of cancer, making metastases more observable. The aim of our study was to investigate how the quality of life is affected in the patient group with vertebral fracture due to spinal metastases of multiple myeloma and undergoing vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. Materials and methods Forty-two patients with fracture due to spinal metastasis and adequate follow-up between the years of 2011 and 2018 were included in the study. Patients were listed according to their primary malignancy and metastases. The effect of vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty was investigated by evaluating preoperative and postoperative VAS and Oswestry Disability Index scores. All patients’ radiographic kyphosis angle, compression ratio and wedging index were calculated before operation and after operation. Results A total of 76 vertebrae were operated in 42 patients. Significant differences were found in the comparison of preoperative and postoperative quality of life according to VAS and Oswestry Disability Index scores in the patients undergoing vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty or both procedures after spinal metastases (VAS; p = 0.0001, ODI; p = 0.002/0.0001). There were statistically significant differences in preoperative local kyphosis angle, compression ratio and wedging index and post-op local kyphosis angle, compression ratio and wedging index ( p = 0.001). Conclusion Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, minimally invasive procedures performed after spinal metastases, improve the quality of life of the patients.
