Cement leakage outside vertebra
Location | DND group (n = 30) | Non-DND group (n = 214) | P value‡ |
---|---|---|---|
Epidural vein—no. (%) | 0 (0) | 3 (1.4) | 0.67 |
Perivertebral soft tissue—no. (%) | 0 (0) | 11 (5.1) | 0.23 |
Intravertebral disk space—no. (%) | 3 (10) | 39 (18.2) | 0.49 |
Lung—no. (%) | 0 (0) | 0 (0) | – |
Total—no. (%) | 3 (10) | 53 (24.8) | 0.07 |
‡Between both groups, comparisons for occurrence rates of cement leakage were analysed with Fisher’s exact test and Chi-square test
