Kyphosis and canal compromise due to refracturing of an L1 cemented vertebra managed with posterior surgery alone.

Conclusion: Here, we presented the safety/efficacy of utilizing a purely posterior approach (e.g., including L1 corpectomy, reconstruction of the anterior column, and posterior fusion: pVCR) in the management of a repeated fracture of a cemented L1 vertebra resulting in kyphosis and canal compromise.
