ABSTRACT
Vertebral compression fractures are the most prevalent complications of osteoporosis, with symptoms of low back pains. Basically, the vertebral compression fractures are regarded as a self-limiting disease, and thus, conservative treatment is enough for most cases, but nevertheless, they have the potential to cause significant rates of disability and morbidity. Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a widely used minimally invasive procedure, where the outcome is largely affected according to appropriate selections of patients and the time of the procedures. We hereby report a multi-level percutaneous vertebroplasty for a patient with multiple compression fractures which accompanies the Kummell's disease with rapidly deteriorating general condition despite his conservative treatments.
