Orta seviye torakal vertebra fraktürlerinde perkütan balon kifoplasti deneyimi

Aim: Balloon kyphoplasty is a popular minimally invasive technique for vertebral fractures. Although fractures occur mostly in the thoracolumbar region, compression can be seen entire column. The mid-thoracic levels are difficult areas terms of complications procedures. Our study aimed to examine effect balloon on height, kyphosis angle, and cement leaks as complication fractures.
 Materials Methods: Radiological images, patient files, pathology results patients who underwent due single or multiple between 2017 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.
 Results: A total 19 (9 males 10 females) 28 operated vertebrae included study. mean age was 58.42±18.79 (23-86) years, operation time 40.18±15.01 minutes (17-99). amount used during procedures 3.68±1.13 mL (1.5-7), postoperative leakage observed 12 (42.9%). Anterior median heights angle improved significantly compared preoperative values (p
