PURPOSE: To describe two unique cases of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) treated with balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) that were complicated by spinal instability and resultant lower extremity paraparesis.
METHODS: Kyphoplasty was performed in two patients with OVCF that had persistent back pain despite a course of conservative care. Immediately following BKP, both patients had a marked improvement in back pain. However, they developed progressive bilateral lower extremity weakness. Lateral spine flexion-extension radiographs demonstrated instability, and polymethyl methacrylate did not adhere to the endplate of the treated vertebrae.
RESULTS: Both the patients underwent a hybrid fixation without a decompression. Postoperatively, both of them demonstrated gradual improvement in their neurological exam.
CONCLUSIONS: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing the development of spinal instability with resultant delayed paraplegia following BKP. This case report demonstrates another cause of neurological decline following BKP, in the absence of cement leakage.
