    AbstractPercutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) has been increasingly performed for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture. Despite its minimally invasive procedure, several complications associated with PVP have been reported, including adjacent-level vertebral fracture. Although rare, recollapse of the same vertebrae after PVP has also been reported. However, previous studies have not described a case in which collapses of both the cemented vertebrae and adjacent-level vertebrae occurred following PVP. Here, we report a rare case of severe kyphotic deformity resulting from collapses at the cemented and adjacent vertebrae after PVP using calcium phosphate cement (CPC). The patient required a highly invasive reconstruction procedure as a salvage surgery.
