Kyphoplasty can rarely cause cement leakage, leading to nerve compression. A minimally invasive endoscopic surgery effectively treated this complication by removing the cement and decompressing the nerve.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure for spinal compression fractures.
  • Complications, though rare, can include cement extrusion causing nerve root compression.

Observation:

  • A 72-year-old woman developed right L2 radiculopathy post-kyphoplasty.
  • CT imaging revealed kyphoplasty cement leakage into the neural foramen at L2.

Findings:

  • A transforaminal endoscopic approach successfully removed the extruded cement.
  • The L2 nerve was decompressed, resolving the radiculopathy.

Implications:

  • Minimally invasive transforaminal endoscopic surgery is an effective treatment for kyphoplasty complications.
