Posterior Fixation Combined with Vertebroplasty or Vertebral Column Resection for the Treatment of Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures with Intravertebral Cleft Complicated by Neurological Deficits

<div>A 76-year-old male patient underwent PFVP because of L1 OVCFs with IVC complicated by neurological deficits. (a–e) Preoperative sagittal plain radiographs, T1- and T2-weighted MRI, STIR MRI, and CT showed an IVC and spinal cord compression at the L1 level with a collapsed fracture and kyphosis. (f) Immediate postoperative plain radiographs showed bone cement in the vertebral body with increased anterior vertebral height and resolved kyphosis. (g) Lateral radiographs showed kyphosis recurrence after 2 years.</div>
