| Abstract |
The spine is the most frequently affected part of the skeletal system to metastatic tumors. External radiotherapy is considered the first-line standard of care for these patients with spine metastases. Recurrent spinal metastases after radiotherapy cannot be treated with further radiotherapy within a short period of time, making treatment difficult. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of MWA combined with cementoplasty in the treatment of spinal metastases after radiotherapy under real-time temperature monitoring. In this retrospective study, 82 patients with 115 spinal metastatic lesions were treated with MWA and cementoplasty under real-time temperature monitoring. Changes in visual analog scale (VAS) scores, daily morphine consumption, and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores were noted. A paired Student's t-test was used to assess these parameters. Complications during the procedure were graded using the CTCAE version 5.0. Technical success was attained in all patients. The mean VAS score was 6.3 ± 2.0 (range, 4-10) before operation, and remarkable decline was noted in one month (1.7 ± 1.0 [P < .001]), three months (1.4 ± 0.8 [P < .001]), and six months (1.3 ± 0.8 [P < .001]) after the operation. Significant reductions in daily morphine consumption and ODI scores were also observed (P < .05). Cement leakage was found in 27.8% (32/115) of lesions, with no obvious associated symptoms. MWA combined with cementoplasty under real-time temperature monitoring is an effective and safe method for recurrent spinal metastases after radiotherapy. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 November 2022.
All research outputs
#19,400,321
of 23,868,920 outputs
Outputs from BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
#3,284
of 4,211 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#324,110
of 449,032 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
#48
of 71 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,868,920 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,211 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.4. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 449,032 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 71 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
