    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: This study was to explore the clinical correlation between osteoporosis thoracolumbar vertebral compression fracture (thoracolumbar OVCF) and lumbar spondylolisthesis (LS). METHODS: In total, 208 patients with thoracolumbar OVCF (fracture group) and 250 elderly patients with osteoporosis (non-fracture group) were retrospectively analyzed. The incidence of LS was compared between the two groups. At the same time, 75 cases of elderly patients with osteoporosis were selected, including 25 patients with isthmic spondylolisthesis (IS group), 25 patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS group), and 25 patients without LS (non-LS group). All patients underwent full-length spine anteroposterior and lateral X-ray, and the spinal pelvic imaging parameters were collected for comparison. RESULTS: The incidence of LS in the fracture group (10.1%, 21/208) was significantly higher than that in the non-fracture group (4.8%, 12/250); the difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 4.763, P = 0.029). The incidence of trauma in the fracture group (51.0%, 106/208) was significantly higher than that in the non-fracture group (13.6%, 34/250); the difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 74.673, P = 0.000). The LS (OR = 2.273, 95% CI = 1.030-5.017, P = 0.042) and trauma (OR = 6.622, 95% CI = 4.203-10.432, P = 0.000) were independently associated with thoracolumbar OVCF. There were significant differences in pelvic incidence (PI), sacral slope (SS), lumbar lordosis (LL), thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK), and thoracic kyphosis (TK) among the IS, DS, and non-LS groups (P < 0.05). Among them, PI, SS, LL, TLK, and TK of the IS group and the DS group were significantly higher than those of the non-LS group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with LS are more likely to suffer from OVCF in the future, and LS is one of the important risk factors for secondary OVCF.
