We used the CDI claw technique for treating delayed neurologic deficits following vertebral fractures in 2 osteoporotic patients.
Neurologic deficits improved using posterior fusion without decompression. It was suggested that the neurologic deficit was mainly due to instability. Posterior long fusion without bone grafting may possibly produce late complications, so patients should be chosen carefully.
