A 67-year-old female individual was diagnosed with OVCF at T12. a,b: Anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films before operation. c: A hyperintense intensity in the fractured vertebra was shown on the fat-suppressed MRI image before surgery. d: The puncture trajectory was designed through PACS. e, f: The puncture-side pedicle projection and the midline of the spine on the patient’s back skin were tagged. The puncture site was then confirmed according to Fig. 3d. Besides, the fractured vertebral inferior border (the red dotted line) does not have a double-layer projection. g, h: The abduction angle and sagittal inclination angle were adjusted by a protractor. i-n: The piercing process was shown. o-q: In the X-ray and 3D-CT pictures following surgery, the bone cement was effectively diffused in the fractured vertebra
