Abstract:Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided TLIPB combined with PVP in the treatment of OVCF in elderly patients.Methods Sixty elderly patients with OVCF admitted to Lincang People's Hospital from January 2024 to June 2025 were randomly divided into three groups (20 cases in each group) using a random number table method: local anesthesia with vertebral augmentation surgery combined with ultrasound-guided bilateral thoracolumbar fascia plane block (TLIPB+PVP group), ultrasound-guided bilateral thoracolumbar fascia plane block (TLIPB group), and vertebral augmentation surgery (PVP group). All three groups of patients were treated with the same analgesic medication as needed for salvage analgesia after surgery. Observe and compare the visual analog scale (VAS) scores, functional impairment index (ODI) scores, number of rescue analgesia attempts within 48 hours after surgery, incidence of adverse drug reactions (nausea, vomiting, local anesthetic poisoning), and whether PVP or TLIPB should be added after surgery among three groups of patients before surgery, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours after surgery.Results Comparative analysis among the three groups revealed that VAS scores were significantly lower in the TLIPB+PVP group than in the PVP group at 6 and 12 hours postoperatively, and significantly lower in the PVP group than in the TLIPB group(p<0.05); The VAS scores of TLIPB+PVP group and PVP group were significantly lower than those of TLIPB group at 24 hours and 48 hours after surgery(p<0.05); The ODI functional impairment score 48 hours after surgery was significantly higher in the TLIPB group than in the PVP group, and significantly higher in the PVP group than in the TLIPB+PVP group; In terms of the frequency of rescue analgesia within 48 hours after surgery, the TLIPB group was significantly higher than the PVP group and the TLIPB+PVP group; The adverse reaction rate of analgesic drugs in the TLIPB+PVP group was significantly lower than that in the PVP group, and the PVP group was significantly lower than the TLIPB group (p<0.05). There was no significant difference (p>0.05) between the TLIPB group who underwent PVP again after surgery and the PVP group who underwent TLIPB again after surgery.Conclusion Ultrasound guided TLIPB combined with PVP for the treatment of OVCF in elderly patients can significantly alleviate early postoperative lumbar pain, improve quality of life, reduce the frequency of postoperative analgesic drug use, reduce the incidence of adverse reactions to analgesic drugs and the rate of secondary surgeries,,and is worthy of clinical promotion.
