Percutaneous cement-augmented short-segment pedicle screw fixation plus percutaneous vertebroplasty for stage III Kummell's disease without neurological symptoms: A case report

The incidence of stage III Kummell's disease without neurological symptoms is increasing in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures. However, the surgical method is still controversial in this condition. This report presented a case of Kummell's disease in which percutaneous bone cement-augmented short-segment pedicle screw fixation combined with percutaneous vertebroplasty was performed, providing a reference for the surgical approach.
