Abstract
Osteoporotic vertebral fractures are common fractures in the elderly population and are often associated with low back pain and disruption in daily living activities. Reconstruction surgeries, such as corpectomy, are among the treatment options for these conditions. However, a corpectomy requires a longer surgical procedure and involves a significant amount of blood loss. We present the case of an 80-year-old woman with severe low back pain due to an L2 fracture and focal kyphosis treated with a novel minimally invasive technique. The patient underwent anterior and posterior surgery in the right decubitus position using a C-arm-free technique. Hyperlordotic cages were inserted in the upper and lower disc space via a lateral approach, while percutaneous pedicle screws were inserted from a posterior approach. These procedures were performed simultaneously under navigation guidance only.
