PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical effects of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) combined with postoperative radiotherapy (RT) in the treatment of spinal metastases.
METHODS: Nine patients (4 males and 5 females, mean age 59.56 years) with painful pathologic compression vertebral fractures caused by metastatic cancers of the spine (5 thoracic levels, 8 lumbar levels) were admitted to our hospital between July 17, 2016 and September 25, 2018. All patients were treated with PVP via bilateral pedicle approach combined with postoperative RT to treat metastatic lesions of the centrum. The clinical records of the patients were retrospectively analyzed. Patients' demographic features and medical conditions including the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Imageology data were observed.
RESULTS: Patients' mean VAS scores decreased from 8.67 ± 0.50 preoperatively to 1.78 ± 0.83 at 6 months after PVP. Moreover, the mean ODI score decreased from 74.07 ± 13.15 preoperatively to 31.87 ± 10.00 at 6 months after PVP. Significant improvement in the degree of pain and dysfunction among the enrolled patients were observed. Furthermore, the metastatic carcinoma lesion within the vertebral body was well controlled according to imaging.
CONCLUSION: PVP in conjunction with postoperative RT is a good treatment strategy for vertebral compression fractures caused by metastases.
