Comparison between Percutaneous Kyphoplasty and Posterior Fixation Combined with Vertebroplasty in the Treatment of Stage III Kümmell’s Disease without Neurological Deficit

<div>Images of a 72-year-old female patient. (a) Preoperative lateral radiograph shows the Cobb angle was 24°. (b) Preoperative CT shows the intravertebral vacuum cleft exists. (c, f) Preoperative MRI and axial CT scan show the collapsed posterior wall but spinal cord compression was not quite severe. (d, e) Postoperative radiographs show the Cobb angle recovered to 16°.</div>
