Clinical result of BKP combined with oblique lumbar interbody fusion for lumbar canal stenosis with osteoporotic vertebral fracture

Abstract

We reported the case of 71 years old male with a burst fracture and rupture of interspinous ligament (AO typeB-2) at the level of stenosis. We applied ballon kyphoplasty (BKP) and oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) for spinal canal stenosis and interbody instability associated with OVF.

A spinal reconstruction from L3 to L5 with L4 BKP and OLIF could provide reliable neurologic improvement in patient with incomplete neurologic deficit, and could provide the stability and indirect decompression for lumbar canal stenosis and osteoporotic vertebral fracture.
