Background: Intraspinal cement leakage is a catastrophic complication of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP). Percutaneous endoscopic spinal surgery (PESS) for intraspinal cement leakage has rarely been reported. Objectives: To evaluate the therapeutic effectiveness of PESS for intraspinal cement leakage following PVP. Study Design: This was a retrospective study approved by the ethics committee of our institution. Setting: Department of Orthopedics from an affiliated hospital. Methods: Twelve patients with neurologic impairments resulting from intraspinal cement leakage after PVP were treated with PESS for spinal decompression from May 2014 to June 2018. Computed tomography and 3-dimensional reconstruction were used to confirm the vertebral level of cement leakage. The surgical index, neurologic function, and clinical results were recorded in this study. Results: The leaked cement of all patients was successfully removed under PESS, and no severe intraoperative complications were reported in our study. The operation time ranged from 43 to 119 minutes (mean, 65.5 minutes). The amount of intraoperative blood loss was 64.25 ± 9.62 mL. The lengths of postoperative hospital stays were 5.25 ± 2.53 days. The follow-up rate was 83.3% (10/12). The follow-up time ranged from 14 to 30 months (mean, 22 months). The Visual Analog Scale scores of foraminal leaks improved from 6.50 ± 0.93 preoperatively to 1.75 ± 0.71 at the last follow-up (P < 0.05). Neurologic function was evaluated by Japanese Orthopaedic Association 29 scores, which improved from 18.75 ± 1.06 to 22.70 ± 1.64 (P < 0.0001). The good and excellent rates were 80% according to the modified Macnab criteria. Limitations: This study is limited by the volume of patients and the deep learning curve needed for PESS. Conclusions: PESS, as a minimally invasive technique, can achieve targeted spinal cord decompression and may be a safe and effective alternative approach to conventional procedures for cement leakage after PVP.

SummaryTreatment of canine hip dysplasia (CHD) via triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) is widely accepted as the treatment that best preserves the existing hip joint. TPO, however, has several important disadvantages. In an effort to avoid some of the difficulties associated with TPO an alternative method of creating acetabular ventroversion (AW) was sought. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of placement of a wedge in the sacroiliac (SI) joint on A W and to compare this to the effect of TPO on A W . On one hemipelvis a 30° pelvic osteotomy plate was used for TPO. The contralateral hemipelvis had a 28° SI wedge inserted into the SI joint. Pre- and postsurgical radiographs of each pelvis were taken and the angular measurements were recorded. On average, the 28° SI wedge resulted in 20.9° of A W, the 30° canine pelvic osteotomy plate resulted in 24.9° A W . Significant differences were not found (p >0.05) between the two techniques. Sacroiliac wedge rotation effectively creates A W and has several theoretical advantages when compared to TPO. The in vivo effects of sacroiliac wedge rotation should be studied in order to evaluate the clinical effect of the technique.Sacroiliac wedge rotation was tested as an alternative method to increase the angle of acetabular ventroversion. This technique effectively rotated the acetabulum and has several theoretical advantages when compared to triple pelvic osteotomy.
