Compression fx/vertebroplasty question
Hey forum, weigh-in on this:
83 y/o F with new L5 compression fracture from 2 months back (30% superior endplate compression) with fracture lines that extend into the bilateral pedicles, L>R.
I want to fix this thing, but she also has history of L4-S1 posterior fusion with bone graft (fusion done in 1975) going right over the pedicle shadow. Hard to make out any definable anatomy needed on left, but I do see my landmarks on right.
Does anyone have experience trying to fix fractures in...
