ABSTRACT

Objective:

The aim of this study is to evaluate the experience of 108 patients that operated with kyphoplasty.

Materials and Method:

We inspected 108 patients who were operated for vertebral fracture with the procedure kyphoplasty between January-2014 and March-2016 at Dr.Lütfi Kırdar Kartal Training and Research Hospital Neurosurgery Clinic. The parameters that evaluated are the level of fracture, gender and age.

Results:

Mean age of the study population was 62.7 ± 12.9 years. Sixty-five patients (60.2%) were females, and 43 were males (39.8%). The comparison of age between genders revealed that mean age of females was 65.6 ± 12.2, and mean age of males was 58.3 ± 13.0. The difference of age between genders was statistically significant.

Conclusions:

Kyphoplasty is a relatively safe and effective technique that provides short term pain relief, improved functional outcomes and had a superior capability for kyphotic angle and anterior vertebral body height improvement.
