Complications were also evaluated for both treatment methods.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A prospective multicenter randomized study was performed at 9 French sites. Patients (n = 100) with acute traumatic Magerl type A1 and A3.1 vertebral fractures were enrolled and randomized to treatment with the SpineJack system or NSM consisting of bracing and administration of pain medication. Participants were monitored at admission, during the procedure, and at 1, 12, and 24 months after treatment initiation. Primary outcomes included visual analog scale back pain score, and secondary outcomes included disability (Oswestry Disability Index [ODI] score), health-related quality of life (EQ-5D score), radiological measures (vertebral kyphosis angle [VKA] and regional traumatic angulation [RTA]), and economic outcomes (costs, procedures, hours of help, and time to return to work).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Ninety-five patients were included in the analysis, with 48 in the SpineJack group and 47 in the NSM group. Back pain improved significantly for all participants with no significant differences between groups. ODI and EQ-5D scores improved significantly between baseline and follow-up (1, 12, and 24 months) for all participants, with the SpineJack group showing a larger improvement than the NSM group between baseline and 1 month. VKA was significantly lower (p &lt; 0.001) (i.e., better) in the SpineJack group than in the NSM group at 1, 12, and 24 months of follow-up. There was no significant change over time in RTA for the SpineJack group, but the NSM group showed a significant worsening in RTA over time. SpineJack treatment was associated with higher costs than NSM but involved a shorter hospital stay, fewer medical visits, and fewer hours of nursing care. Time to return to work was significantly shorter for the SpineJack group than for the NSM group. There were no significant differences in complications between the two treatments.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Overall, there was no statistical difference in the primary outcomes between the SpineJack treatment group and the NSM group. In terms of secondary outcomes, SpineJack treatment was associated with better radiological outcomes, shorter hospital stays, faster return to work, and fewer hours of nursing care.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2023.12.spine23824","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,2]],"date-time":"2024-03-02T02:54:12Z","timestamp":1709348052000},"page":"790-800","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["A prospective multicenter randomized study comparing the SpineJack system and nonsurgical management with a brace in acute traumatic vertebral fractures: the SPICO study"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Mourad","family":"Ould-Slimane","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedics-Traumatology Department, Spine Institute, Rouen University Hospital Center\u2014Charles Nicolle Hospital, Rouen;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antoine","family":"Petit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurosurgery Department, Jean Minjoz Hospital, Besan\u00e7on;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olivier","family":"Gille","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgery Unit\u2014Orthopedics-Traumatology Unit, Bordeaux University Hospital Center\u2014Pellegrin Hospital, Bordeaux;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean Marc","family":"Kaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nord Hospital Neurosurgery Department, Public Assistance\u2014Marseille Hospitals, Marseille;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adamou","family":"Touta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nord Hospital Neurosurgery Department, Public Assistance\u2014Marseille Hospitals, Marseille;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jonathan","family":"Lebhar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic, Reconstructive and Trauma Surgery, Rennes University Hospital Center, Rennes; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Grelat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurosurgery, Dijon University Hospital, Dijon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"b1","series-title":"Neurosurg Focus","first-page":"E8","article-title":"Operative and nonoperative adverse events in the management of traumatic fractures of the thoracolumbar spine: a systematic review","volume":"37","author":"Ghobrial GM","year":"2014","unstructured":"Ghobrial GM, Maulucci CM, Maltenfort M,  Operative and nonoperative adverse events in the management of traumatic fractures of the thoracolumbar spine: a systematic review.
