Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of vertebral refractures following percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and to explore risk factors for augmented vertebral refractures, thereby assisting spinal surgeons in clinical practice. Methods: We analyzed the records of 495 patients with single-segment osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) who were treated with single-entry PKP at our institution from March 2016 to August 2022. Univariate analysis, binary logistic regression, and ROC curve analysis were performed to determine potential risk factors, independent risk factors, and discrimination ability. Results: A total of 168 patients were included in the study, with a median follow-up duration of 7.00 months. In total, 143 patients did not experience vertebral refracture after surgery, while 25 patients did, including 22 augmented vertebral fractures and 3 adjacent vertebral compression refractures. The correction rate of the Cobb angle (p < 0.001; OR = 1.070) and postoperative anti-osteoporosis treatment (p = 0.002; OR = 0.021) were independently associated with augmented vertebral refracture. The ROC curves showed that these variables demonstrated satisfactory predictive values for augmented vertebral refracture. Conclusions: A high degree of restoration of the Cobb angle was the factor contributing to vertebral refracture after PKP. Conversely, postoperative anti-osteoporosis treatment was observed to be a protective factor against subsequent vertebral refracture.
