Figure 1 The patient was a 61-year-old woman with an L2 compression fracture. Only percutaneous kyphoplasty was performed, and the postoperative radiological outcome was observed. The red line through B and F indicates the local kyphotic angle. (A, B) Preoperative full spinal radiographs showing the L2 vertebral compression fracture. (C, D) Preoperative CT and MRI showing the L2 vertebral compression fracture with obvious spinal canal encroachment. (E, F) Postoperative full spinal radiographs showing bone cement permeating the L2 vertebrae.
