Cement leakage into subcutaneous tissue after kyphoplasty: A case report

ABSTRACT

We describe a case of cement leakage from the pedicle of vertebrae to the subcutaneous tissue after kyphoplasty.We attempted to remove all cement leakage, but residual cement remained in the paraspinal tissue without any neurological complications.This case illustrates the importance of the right timing of cement injection and when to detach the bone-filler device from the cement.
