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>An 83-year-old male patient underwent PFVP due to L1 OVCFs with IVC complicated by neurological deficits. (a–d) Preoperative sagittal plain radiographs, T1- and T2-weighted MRI, and CT revealed an IVC and spinal cord compression at the L1 level. (e, f) Immediate postoperative plain radiographs and CT showed bone cement in the vertebral body with increased anterior vertebral height and resolved kyphosis. (g, h) Plain radiographs showed that displacement of the bone cement developed 1.5 years after surgery.</div>
