ABSTRACT
STUDY DESIGN:
Case report.OBJECTIVES:
To document unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) as a treatment for acute radiculopathy after osteoporotic vertebral fracture. SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW Acute radiculopathy after osteoporotic vertebral fracture leads to claudication. Treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures with accompanying radiating pain is challenging. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
A 74-year-old woman was diagnosed with an osteoporotic vertebral fracture at L3 after slipping and falling. Vertebroplasty was performed for the osteoporotic vertebral fracture at L3. She still complained of right lower extremity radiating pain. UBE was performed to treat acute radiculopathy.RESULTS:
Foraminal decompression using UBE was performed at the L3–4 right foraminal area. Her symptoms resolved after surgery.CONCLUSIONS:
UBE is a useful treatment method for acute radiculopathy after osteoporotic vertebral fracture.
