We report the surgical procedure and clinical outcomes of a cement augmented anterior reconstruction with pedicle screw fixation for osteoporotic @entity891 with an intravertebral cleft ( @entity195 ). Ten consecutive @entity1 with @entity1745 were enrolled in this study. The mean number of fused segments was 3.2. Instrumentation and posterolateral bone grafts were performed for one level above and below the collapsed vertebra with the exception of one @entity1 . @entity4625 ( @entity4625 ) cement was then injected into the intravertebral cleft and posterior decompression was performed when needed. The visual analog scale (VAS) @entity158 score and Frankel grade were used to evaluate the clinical results and radiological parameters were also assessed. The mean VAS score before vertebroplasty was 7.5, which was reduced to 3.2 postoperatively, and was 3.7 at the most recent follow-up. The mean follow-up duration was 12.1 months. Seven (83%) of the eight @entity1 with @entity51 showed an improvement in neurological function by at least 1 Frankel grade. The mean decrease in the @entity1513 (Cobb) angle was 12.6   and the wedge angle was 12.1   (p<0.05). However, the angle improvement regressed slightly during follow-up. None of the @entity1 showed @entity891 , or loss or leakage of @entity4625 into the canal. One @entity1 developed wound dehiscence. There was no need for revision or evidence of instrument failure. Based on the preliminary results, we advocate the use of short instrumentation in combination with vertebroplasty with @entity4625 and posterolateral fusion for @entity195 in @entity1 who are elderly or medically compromised.

Cement augmented anterior reconstruction with short posterior instrumentation: a less invasive surgical option for XXXX with @entity1745 .
