Abstract
Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), a minimally invasive surgery technique, has become the common treatment for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF). The complications of PVP will lead to severe damage to spinal neuro systems due to bone cement leakage. A patient tailored preoperative assessment approach was developed to reduce the risks of complications in this study. The porcine OVCF model was fabricated to mimic the patient vertebral fracture in vitro using decalcification process. The 3D reconstructed model based on the imagological examination data acquired from the porcine vertebral bone was implemented for finite element (FE) simulation. The vertebral body with bone cement injected was scanned using CT for comparison with the finite element simulation results. This study showed a practical method for predicting the flow of bone cement in OVCF, which enabled the surgeons to evaluate the bone cement flow during preoperative assessment to reduce the cement leakage risks.
期刊介绍:
Evidence of surgical interventions go back to prehistoric times. Since then, the field of surgery has developed into a complex array of specialties and procedures, particularly with the advent of microsurgery, lasers and minimally invasive techniques. The advanced skills now required from surgeons has led to ever increasing specialization, though these still share important fundamental principles.
Frontiers in Surgery is the umbrella journal representing the publication interests of all surgical specialties. It is divided into several “Specialty Sections” listed below. All these sections have their own Specialty Chief Editor, Editorial Board and homepage, but all articles carry the citation Frontiers in Surgery.
Frontiers in Surgery calls upon medical professionals and scientists from all surgical specialties to publish their experimental and clinical studies in this journal. By assembling all surgical specialties, which nonetheless retain their independence, under the common umbrella of Frontiers in Surgery, a powerful publication venue is created. Since there is often overlap and common ground between the different surgical specialties, assembly of all surgical disciplines into a single journal will foster a collaborative dialogue amongst the surgical community. This means that publications, which are also of interest to other surgical specialties, will reach a wider audience and have greater impact.
The aim of this multidisciplinary journal is to create a discussion and knowledge platform of advances and research findings in surgical practice today to continuously improve clinical management of patients and foster innovation in this field.
