Abstract

We present a case of posterior spinal fusion with vertebroplasty in the treatment of thoracic vertebral fracture with delayed palsy. The case was a 73-year-old female diagnosed as thoracic vertebral fracture of Th11 with delayed palsy. She gradually developed gait disturbance and bladder-bowel disturbance. MRI revealed burst fracture of Th11 and compression of the spinal cord. She was operatively treated with posterior spinal fusion with vertebroplasty using hydroxyapatite and showed a good course at follow-up six months later.
