Background: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is increasingly being recognized as an advantageous alternative for treating non-union due to its efficacy and minimal associated complications. Non-union following Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is particularly challenging, with a reported 55% delayed union and 8% non-union. Herein, we highlight a unique case of ischial non-union post-PAO treated successfully with a structured ESWT regimen.

Background: Minimally invasive techniques used to augment the fractured vertebral body have acquired popularity thanks to their capacity to stabilize the anterior spine via the percutaneous posterior pathway.
Case Description: We present a clinical case of a 50-year-old male patient with a traumatic complete burst fracture of L1 vertebral body treated by L1 laminectomy, percutaneous pedicle instrumentation D11-D12-L2-L3 and indirect fracture reduction, followed by direct reduction by armed kyphoplasty with stents filled with bone graft. We describe the details of the surgical technique, as well as clinical and imaging outcomes.
