Abstract:[Objective] To evaluate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) combined with augmented pedicle screw(APS) for stage III Kummell disease. [Methods] A retrospective analysis was performed on 76 patients who underwent surgical treatment forstage III Kummell disease without neurological symptoms during March 2019 to August 2021 in our hospital. According to doctor-patientcommunication, 32 cases were treated with simple PVP (the PVP group), 21 cases underwent PVP combined pedicle screw (the PVP-PSgroup), and 23 cases received PVP combined with augmented pedicle screw (the PVP-APS group). Perioperative, follow-up and imaging da-ta of the three groups were compared. [Results] The PVP group was significantly less than the PVP-PS and PVP-APS groups in terms of op-erative time, intraoperative fluoroscopy times, puncture adjustment times, bone cement injection amount, intraoperative blood loss, walkingtime and hospital stay (P<0.05). As time went during the follow-up period lasted for more than 1 year, the VAS and ODI scores significantlydecreased in all the 3 groups (P<0.05). At the last follow-up, PVP-PS and PVP-APS groups proved significantly superior to the PVP groupin terms of VAS [(2.7±0.6) vs (2.4±0.6) vs (3.3±0.4), P<0.001] and ODI scores [(22.6±4.3) vs (25.0±4.8) vs (30.1±5.8), P<0.001]. As for imag-ing, the PVP-PS and PVP-APS groups were significantly better than the PVP group in terms of sagittal index (SI) [(88.4±3.6)% vs (93.2±3.7)% vs (46.2±3.6)%, P<0.001], local kyphotic Cobb angle [(17.6±4.2)° vs (10.7±3.5)° vs (27.6±4.6)°, P<0.001], and spinal stenosis rate[(14.4±3.6)% vs (9.1±3.2)% vs (25.2±4.8)%, P<0.001]. Moreover, the PVP-APS group was significantly better than PVP-PS group regardingabovesaid parameters (P<0.05). [Conclusion] The PVP-APS do effectively restore the height of the diseased vertebra, correct kyphotic defor-mity and improve spinal stenosis, and achieve satisfactory short-term clinical outcome for stage III Kummell's disease without neurologicalsymptoms, while the long-term efficacy remains to be followed up further.
