Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a non-inflammatory spinal ossification condition that limits mobility and can cause stress concentration at fractures, leading to pseudoarthrosis or adjacent fractures. Nevertheless, limited research has specifically examined the relationship between DISH and adjacent fractures
PURPOSE
This study aims to examines the prevalence of new adjacent fractures following percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in patients with and without DISH as a primary outcome. The secondary outcome is to identify additional risk factors associated with the development of new adjacent fractures after PVP.
STUDY DESIGN/SETTING
Retrospective cohort study
PATIENT SAMPLE
A total of 238 patients with single-level TL spine osteoporotic fractures who underwent PVP were analyzed.
OUTCOME MEASURES
Radiographic parameters, cement leakage, adjacent fractures and any revisions.
METHODS
We included patients with single-level TL spine osteoporotic fractures who underwent PVP between 2016 and 2021. Demographic, surgical, and radiographic data were collected, and follow-up X-rays were obtained for a minimum of 12 months. Adjacent fractures were defined as new vertebral fractures occurring at one level above or below the PVP level.
RESULTS
Among 238 cases analyzed, 59 (24.8%) had DISH. Adjacent fractures occurred in 27.3% of cases, with three instances requiring revisions due to neurological deficits. Patients with adjacent fractures were older, had more diabetes, and higher rates of DISH (38.5% vs. 19.7%, p=0.003). Identified risk factors included older age, DISH, type C cement leakage, and preoperative wedge angle. Patients with DISH are 2.3 times more likely to develop adjacent fractures compared to those without DISH. Furthermore, most adjacent fractures in DISH patients occurred when the DISH-PVP distance was = 2 levels (92.3%, p=0.007), with an overall incidence of 55% among DISH patients.
CONCLUSIONS
Older age, DISH, type C cement leakage, and preoperative wedge angle were significant risk factors for adjacent fractures post-PVP. These findings assist clinicians in patient discussions and highlight the potential benefits of implementing prophylactic strategies for high-risk individuals.
