Imaging of a typical patient who underwent the novel transpedicular reducer procedure for reduction and bone grafting combined with pedicle screw fixation before, during and after the operation. A, B: Preoperative coronal and sagittal CT demonstrating a burst fracture of the vertebral body. C, D: During the operation, the new transpedicular reducer was used to reset the injured vertebra. E, F: Coronal and sagittal CT 3 days after the operation demonstrating that the allograft was evenly wedged into the anterior and medial columns. G, H: Coronal and sagittal CT 12 months after the operation. The allograft bone that filled the anterior and middle columns was partially absorbed. No defects were found, and the trabecular structure was visible in the cancellous bone. I, J: Coronal and sagittal CT after removal of the internal fixation
