OBJECTIVE: The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the efficacy of bone cement-augmented percutaneous @entity1347 for treating @entity195 accompanied by severe @entity170 . METHODS: From 2009 to 2013, ten @entity1 with single-level @entity195 accompanied by severe @entity170 were enrolled in this study. After postural reduction for 1-2 days, bone cement-augmented percutaneous @entity1347 was performed at one level above, one level below, and at the collapsed vertebra. Clinical results, radiological parameters, and related complications were assessed preoperatively and at 1 month and 12 months after surgery. RESULTS: Prior to surgery, the mean @entity158 score on the visual analogue scale was 8.5  1.5. One month after the procedure, this score improved to 2.2  2.0 and the improvement was maintained at 12 months after surgery. The mean preoperative vertebral height loss was 48.2  10.5%, and the surgical procedure reduced this loss to 22.5  12.4%. In spite of some recurrent height loss, significant improvement was achieved at 12 months after surgery compared to preoperative values. The kyphotic angle improved significantly from 22.4  4.9   before the procedure to 10.1  3.8   after surgery and the improved angle was maintained at 12 months after surgery despite a slight correction loss. No @entity1 sustained adjacent @entity174 after bone cement-augmented percutaneous @entity1347 during the follow-up period. Asymptomatic cement leakage into the paravertebral area was observed in one @entity1 , but no major complications were seen. CONCLUSION: Bone cement-augmented percutaneous @entity1347 can be an effective and safe procedure for @entity195 .
