Percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty experience in mid-thoracic vertebra fractures

Abstract

Aim: Balloon kyphoplasty is a popular minimally invasive technique for vertebral fractures. Although vertebral fractures occur mostly in the thoracolumbar region, compression fractures can be seen in the entire vertebral column. The mid-thoracic levels are difficult areas in terms of complications in minimally invasive procedures. Our study aimed to examine the effect of balloon kyphoplasty on vertebral height, kyphosis angle, and cement leaks as a complication in mid-thoracic vertebral fractures. Materials and Methods: Radiological images, patient files, and pathology results of patients who underwent kyphoplasty due to a single or multiple mid-thoracic vertebral fractures between 2017 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: A total of 19 patients (9 males and 10 females) and 28 operated vertebrae were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 58.42±18.79 (23-86) years, and the mean operation time was 40.18±15.01 minutes (17-99). The amount of cement used during the procedures was 3.68±1.13 mL (1.5-7), and postoperative cement leakage was observed in 12 levels (42.9%). Anterior and median vertebral heights and kyphosis angle improved significantly compared to preoperative values (p<0.001). The duration of hospital stay was found to be 4.42±0.69 hours (4-6). Conclusion: The balloon kyphoplasty method is reliable in restoring the vertebra and reducing the angle of kyphosis, although there is a high risk of cement leakage at mid-thoracic vertebrae levels.
