Abstract

Case presentation of a cervical spine fracture treated by kyphoplasty. The review of the case, especially the careful re-assessment of the x-rays reveals that the treatment goals have not been achieved (motion preservation, functional restoration of the vertebral body). The case report is an excellent example of our biased viewpoint in assessing our efforts.
