    Patient-centered outcomes of vertebroplasty via questionnaire
    (Galenos, 2019) Karaca, Sinan; Erdem, Mehmet Nuri
    Purpose: Our aim was to evaluate patient centred outcomes of patients with compression fractures treated by vertebroplasty. Methods: Patients with compression fractures treated by vertebroplasty procedure between 2013- 2016 was examined with a 3-question through telephone call. Results: Fifty-two patients completed the telephone satisfaction survey. Of these, 92.5 % of answerers said the procedure was acceptable, 86.5% had full or partial pain remission and 78.8 % would have the procedure again. Conclusions: The use of vertebroplasty is supported by randomized trials in osteoporotic and malignant compression fractures. To the results of our study, patients believe vertebroplasty is a tolerable procedure that produces full or partial pain remission and would try the same procedure again if needed.

    Evaluation of satisfaction with a questionnaire according to fracture level and fracture type of patients who underwent balloon kyphoplasty
    (Galenos Publishing House, 2022-04) Kültür, Yiğit; Bal, Emre; Erdem, Mehmet Nuri; Tezer, Mehmet
    Objective: The aim of this study is to better understand which type of fracture and localization have more painful or worse outcomes for the kyphoplasty procedure. Materials and Methods: Kyphoplasty cases operated between 2013 and 2018 were included in the study. The patients were contacted through the numbers registered in the hospital system. A questionnaire were asked to the patients. Patients were grouped according to gender, fracture level (T12-L1 and others) and fracture type (Osteoporotic, trauma, malignancy, unknown). Results: Fourty-one patients were included in the study. Three-quarters of the patients were women and average age was 62. Ninety-two percent of the patients stated that the pain of the procedure was tolerable. Seventy percent reported that their pain decreased after the procedure and 75% of the patients stated that they could have this procedure done again. Pain reduction and the desire to have same surgery again were significantly higher in female patients than in the male group (p<0.05). In the T12-L1 group and osteoporotic fracture group, the procedure was more easily tolerated, the pain was relieved more and the desire to have the same surgery was higher (p<0.05). Conclusion: Kyphoplasty is accepted as an operation that is well tolerated by patients and has good pain relief. Additionally more detailed information was obtained about the patient’s complaints after the kyphoplasty procedure, according to the fracture level and type.
