Background: Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV) has become an important minimally invasive surgical technique for vertebral compression fractures. However, indications for PV in these cases due to trauma had many rivals and unclearly. These complications, especially cement leakage still common, has many severe consequent. Object and method research: A 60-years-old man, who underwent vertebroplasty in low medical level. He had complete paralised of two leg, urine retention, and severe low back pain. We examined clinical signs, imaging, find and compared with literatures. Case presentation and discussion: We present a case, 60-years-old man, had labor accident, after that he could returned to state of normality. At the second day, he went to local hospital, had diagnosis: compression fractures of L1-L2. He underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty of L1-2 under local anesthesia. Post-operative, he had complete paralised of two leg, urine retention, and severe low back pain. He had exmined again, MRI and took second surgery to removed part of cement leakage. After the second surgery, radiological showed they had complete removed cement leakage, but the patient’s recovery was uneventful and stable. The patient was hospitalized at our instituation after 03 day with complaints of severe low back pain, urine retention and complete paralised of two leg. Conclusion: This is basic technique, widely and rewarding; also has many severe incident, complications. Consequently, we suggest that this technique have to perform in right indications, in the modern medical centre and fully trained surgeon.
