Abstract:[Objective] To evaluate the significance of Mimics software calculated bone cement distribution rate (DR) for evaluation of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP). [Methods] A retrospective study was conducted on the patients who received PVP in our hospital from March 2021 to December 2022. According to the bone cement DR measured on the Mimics software, 40 patients with high distribution rate (HDR) (DR≥20%), 40 with medium diffusion rate (MDR) (10%[Results] The HDR cohort proved significantly greater than the MDR and LDR cohorts in terms of bone cement injection volume [(7.5±1.1) ml vs (6.6±1.3) ml vs (6.4±1.2) ml, P<0.001], and the bone cement diffusion [(22.4±1.5)% vs (14.8±2.4)% vs (8.2±1.0)%, P<0.001]. However, the HDR cohort was significantly less than the MDR and LDR cohorts in the secondary fracture occurrence [case (%), 2 (5.0) vs 5 (12.5) vs 10 (25.0), P<0.001]. The VAS and ODI scores significantly decreased with time in all three groups (P<0.05), and the VAS score in the HDR group was significantly lower than those in the MDR group and LDR group at 1 year after surgery [(1.7±0.7) vs (2.2±0.8) vs (2.3±0.5), P<0.001]. As for imaging, the vertebral anterior margin height, vertebral anterior margin height ratio, and local kyphotic angle significantly improved in all three groups postoperatively compared with those preoperatively (P<0.05). At 1 year after surgery, the vertebral anterior margin he、‘ight in HDR and MDR groups was significantly highe r thanthat in LDR group [(23.1±2.1) mm vs (22.2±3.1) mm vs (21.6±1.5) mm, P<0.001], while the vertebral anterior margin height ratio in th e HDRand MDR groups was significantly higher than that in the LDR group [(82.6±7.9)% vs (80.7±4.9)% vs (77.0±5.0)%, P<0.001]. As re sults ofpaired correlation analysis, the DR was a significant negative correlated with VAS score (r=-0.333, P<0.001), while positively correlated with the height of the anterior vertebral margin (r=0.345, P<0.001) and vertebral anterior margin height (r=0.285, P=0.002). [Conclusion] In this study, the higher the distribution rate calculated by Mimics software, the better the clinical and imaging results of patients, and the lower the postoperative secondary fracture rate.
