Abstract

Backgroud: Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) cascades (OVCFcs) repeatedly cause vertebral compression to involve multiple vertebra. This study aimed to introduce an accelerated form of OVCFcs: acute multiple OVCF (amOVCF).

Methods: OVCF patients with multiple vertebral augmentations in a spine center between June 2016 and October 2020 were retrospectively studied. Demographics, spine trauma, anatomical distribution, and distribution pattern of OVCF in OVCFcs and amOVCF were summarized and compared.

Results: 429 patients with multiple vertebral augmentations in 1164 vertebra were included. There were 210 OVCFcs accumulating 622 OVCF and 219 amOVCF simultaneously involving 542 vertebra. The OVCFcs progressed at 0.48 fractures and 0.56 vertebra per year. Both OVCFcs and amOVCF demonstrated asymmetrical bimodal distribution in spine and most frequently involved L1. The incidence of adjacent OVCF was 40.14% in amOVCF with 2 OVCF and 84.72% in amOVCF with ≥ 3 OVCF, and the distribution pattern of OVCF was not significantly different between amOVCF and OVCFcs. The female/male ratio was 5.56 in OVCFcs and not different from that of 4.34 in amOVCF. The age of females (73.41 ± 8.08 and 76.29 ± 8.25 years old) but not males (77.20 ± 10.13 and 79.75 ± 10.21 years old) was significantly increased from initial to last OVCF in OVCFcs. amOVCF had similar age (72.26 ± 10.09 years old) as OVCFcs at initial OVCF (73.99 ± 8.51 years old) and were significantly younger than OVCFcs at last OVCF (76.82 ± 8.64 years old). 54.29% in OVCFcs and 48.4% in amOVCF reported no evident trauma, and the ratio of apparent spine trauma was higher in amOVCF (43.38%) than in OVCFcs (28.54%).

Conclusions: amOVCF are accelerated form of OVCFcs showing similar anatomical distribution and distribution pattern of OVCF in spine. Both amOVCF and OVCFcs cause multiple fragility fractures without significant spine trauma.

期刊介绍： Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research is an open access journal that encompasses all aspects of clinical and basic research studies related to musculoskeletal issues. Orthopaedic research is conducted at clinical and basic science levels. With the advancement of new technologies and the increasing expectation and demand from doctors and patients, we are witnessing an enormous growth in clinical orthopaedic research, particularly in the fields of traumatology, spinal surgery, joint replacement, sports medicine, musculoskeletal tumour management, hand microsurgery, foot and ankle surgery, paediatric orthopaedic, and orthopaedic rehabilitation. The involvement of basic science ranges from molecular, cellular, structural and functional perspectives to tissue engineering, gait analysis, automation and robotic surgery. Implant and biomaterial designs are new disciplines that complement clinical applications. JOSR encourages the publication of multidisciplinary research with collaboration amongst clinicians and scientists from different disciplines, which will be the trend in the coming decades.
