Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP) in treatment of vertebral hemangioma. Methods: The clinical data of 46 patients who were diagnosed as vertebral hemangioma and treated with PVP in our hospital from2008 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were followed up at least 6 months after the operation. The clinical outcomes,recurrence, curative effect, life quality and safety were evaluated and compared by visual analogue scale(VAS), modified Macnab criteria and SF-36 before and after operation. Results: The results of postoperative VAS score, quality of life were obviously improved compared with preoperative evaluation(P<0.05), and VAS score was gradually decreased with the time after surgery. There were 2 cases recurrence which had no symptom and no treatment. No other complications were detected. According to the modified Macnab criteria, the outcome showed the excellent and good rate was 93.5 %. Conclusions: PVP is a safe, effective and minimally invasive treatment for the vertebral hemangioma, which can obviously relieve the pain symptoms, and significantly improve the lumbar vertebral function and quality of life.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of modified McBride orthomorphia with small incision in the treatment of Hallusx Valgus. Methods: 104 patients who were admitted in our hospital from 2010 to 2014 and diagnosed as Hallusx Valgus were cured by modified mcBride orthomorphia. The clinical efficacy was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS), the changes of hallus valgus angle(HVA) and intermetatarsal angle(IMA) and Ankle Society score(AOFAS) at reoperation, 3 weeks after surgery and 6 weeks after surgery. Results: All the patients were followed up at least 6 months after the operation and the excellent rate was 96.2%. The postoperative VAS score, hallus valgus angle and Ankle Society score at 3 weeks after surgery were obviously improved compared with those preoperation (P<0.05). Only three patients had recurrence at 6 months after surgery, 6 patients had mild pain of foot and 1 case had delayed healing of incision. Conclusions: Modified McBride orthomorphia with small incision could effectivly correct the foot hallux valgus deformity and relieve the pain due to this disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
