Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of balloon kyphoplasty vs Stentoplasty in Dorso- Lumbar spinal fracture by analysing Kyphosis correction and height restoration.

Objective

• To evaluate Kyphosis correction in dorso lumbar spinal fracture treated with balloon kyphoplasty vs Stentoplasty by calculating local wedge angle of collapsed vertebrae pre and post operation.
• To evaluate height restoration in dorso lumbar spinal fracture treated with balloon kyphoplasty vs Stentoplasty by calculating anterior height of collapsed vertebrae pre and post operation.

Method

• In this Ambispective observational study, we included 10 patients With dorso-lumbar spinal fractures who needed cementing of the collapsed vertebrae as per the Indications.
• The patients were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
• The patients were operated between 2023 and 2024 at Yashoda Super speciality Hospital, Nehru Nagar, Ghaziabad.
• We reviewed digital radiographs of 10 patients before and after balloon kyphoplasty and Stentoplasty.
• We measured the wedge angle of the fractured vertebral body, Wedge angle reduction and Restoration percentage of wedge angle, pre and post operation.
• We have also measured the anterior height of the collapsed vertebra, Anterior vertebral body height gain and Percentage of anterior height gain, pre and post operation.

Result

• Total 10 patients were assessed, out of which 5 patients underwent Stentoplasty and 5 patients underwent balloon kyphoplasty.
• In post Stentoplasty patients, Wedge angle reduction was 2.44 ± 1.07 and Restoration percentage of wedge angle was 19.32 ± 7.42, Anterior vertebral body height gain was 0.28 ± 0.13 and Percentage of anterior height gain was 16.16 ± 5.51.
• In post balloon kyphoplasty patients, Wedge angle reduction was 2.54 ± 1.78 and Restoration percentage of wedge angle was 19.64 ± 10.71, Anterior vertebral body height gain was 0.24 ± 0.11and Percentage of anterior height gain was 17.32 ± 8.17

Conclusion

• Balloon kyphoplasty and Stentoplasty both increases the height of the fractured vertebra and reduces the wedge angle of the collapsed vertebral fracture.
• Therefore, Balloon kyphoplasty and stentoplasty are equally effective and radiographic differences do not make significant influence on the clinical results.
• Still we need more high-quality RCTs with larger sample size, multi- centric, and longer follow-up are warranted to confirm the current findings.
