This case report details a complex L1 compression fracture in a 68-year-old patient. Surgical stabilization using posterior transpedicular vertebral stabilization provided pain relief and restored mobility.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Neurosurgery
- Radiology
Background:
- Compression fractures of the thoracolumbar junction are common spinal injuries.
- These fractures can stem from trauma or underlying vertebral conditions.
Observation:
- A 68-year-old patient experienced lumbar spine pain and immobility after a fall.
- Imaging revealed a complex L1 compression fracture with osteoporotic changes and lumbosacral pathologies.
Findings:
- Surgical posterior transpedicular vertebral stabilization with titanium implants was performed.
- The patient reported significant pain relief post-surgery with no neurological deficit.
Implications:
- Reliable imaging is crucial for diagnosing thoracolumbar compression fractures.
- Posterior transpedicular vertebral stabilization is an effective surgical treatment for these injuries.
