Finite element study on three osteotomy methods for treating thoracolumbar osteoporotic fracture vertebral collapse complicated with neurological dysfunction

Surgical methods for patients with osteoporotic fracture vertebral collapse complicated with neurological dysfunction are still a topic of debate. We designed an improved osteotomy for the treatment of osteoporotic compression fracture patients with neurological dysfunction. Compared with traditional osteotomy methods such as pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) and bone-disc-bone osteotomy (BDBO), the osteotomy range is reduced. Therefore, we use a finite element method to analyze the biomechanical conditions of these three osteotomy methods and provide a mechanical theoretical basis for the surgical treatment of these three osteotomy methods.
