Case no. 23 in Group 2. A 78-year-old female patient suffered from prolonged mid-back pain secondary to a fall accident. (A-1,2) Plain radiographs showed L1 osteoporotic compression fracture. (B-1,2) the T2W MR image demonstrated non-healed L1 compression fracture as presenting high signal intensity in intra-vertebral cleft of L1 body. (C-1,2) L1 vertebroplasty was performed successfully without cement leakage. The operation time was 21 minutes. The patient was very satisfied with the procedure.
