    Images obtained in a 78-year-old woman with a history of T12 fracture. (a) Sagittal fast spin-echo T1-weighted MR image shows low signal intensity in the bone marrow and a loss of vertebral body height at the T11 vertebra. A fluid-filled vacuum cleft was noted (arrow). (b) Sagittal MR image obtained with fat saturation shows high signal intensity within the T11 vertebra. A fluid-filled vacuum cleft was noted (arrow). (c) Lateral radiograph obtained after vertebroplasty shows restoration of the vertebral height and correction of spinal kyphosis. (d) Radiograph obtained 3 months after vertebroplasty, after the patient returned with a new onset of back pain, shows a new deformity of the T10 vertebra.

    Graph shows the fracture-free rate for neighboring vertebrae at different time intervals after vertebroplasty.
