A lateral decubitus percutaneous vertebroplasty using a facet-joint-transgressing unipedicular trajectory in a hemiplegic patient: a case report with a position-trajectory-gravity coupling strategy

Background: Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is typically performed in the prone position using a standard transpedicular approach. However, patients with hemiplegia often cannot tolerate prone positioning due to spasticity and postural instability. Moreover, achieving symmetric...
