Methods : From November 2018 to December 2019, a total of 50 eligible patients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) treated by PVP were retrospectively collected, of which 25 cases were in ultrasound-guided group and the other 25 cases were in fluoroscopy-guided group. Radiation doses, one-time localization success rate, operation time, clinical efficacy and complications incidence were compared between the two groups. Results : Ultimately, 46 patients completed followed-up, whose average follow-up time was 9 months, the dose and times of fluoroscopy and operation time in ultrasound-guided group statically significantly decreased compared with fluoroscopy-guided group (P<0.01). The one-time localization success rate in ultrasound-guided group and fluoroscopy-guided group were 68.2% and 37.5% respectively ( x 2 = 4.33, P=0.037), whose difference was statistically significant (P0.05). There were no postoperative complications such as infection, hematoma formation and fracture nonunion observed between the two groups. Conclusion : Ultrasound-guided entry point determination for PVP puncture is safe, which can significantly improve the success rate of one-time localization and decrease radiation exposure and operation time.
