Abstract
- When patients combined thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) with lumbar degenerative disease, whose main clinical manifestations are distal lumbosacral pain (DLP), the therapeutic schedule should be made cautiously. We reported an 80-year-old female presented with long-term lumbosacral pain accused of lumbar disc herniation. Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) had been received because of OVCF at L1 vertebral body. Twenty days ago, the elderly felt the DLP was aggravated with no obvious reason. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed the fresh compression fracture of L2 vertebral body, but the palpation found absence of focal tenderness. Then, we chose to perform PKP at L2 vertebral body, and the patient felt substantial pain relief of lumbosacral area after operation. This case showed that patient manifested as DLP that combined thoracolumbar OVCF with lumbar degenerative disease, PKP has a significant relieving effect on lumbosacral pain.
