A patient with type III Kummell's disease had a ruptured posterior cortex of the fractured vertebral body, which caused spinal cord compression. An open surgery was considered the best choice of operation. However, the patient and her family refused open surgery and instead demanded a minimally invasive surgical treatment such as percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP). After preoperative discussion, we finally adopted the novel therapy of traditional Chinese medicine manipulative reduction (TCMMR) combined with PVP.
