Ballon-mounted stentoplasty is the latest cement augment stabilization for osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF). The technique is almost similar to kyphoplasty except for stent placement in a created void and filling it with cement. Here, we describe a patient with a failure of balloon inflation in an elderly male presented with OVF.
An elderly male presented with OVF of the L1 was planned for stentoplasty. The balloon was inserted inside and inflated but beyond 22-25 atm (atmospheric pressure), the device was turning "false" and returned to zero. This happened again with the stent mounted ballon and the procedure was abandoned and vertebroplasty was done.
Failure of balloon inflation in stentoplasty due to balloon malfunction is a rare complication that has not been reported so far.
球囊扩张式椎体后凸成形术是骨质疏松性椎体骨折（OVF）最新的骨水泥强化稳定技术。该技术与椎体后凸成形术几乎相似，只是在制造的空隙中放置支架并用骨水泥填充。在此，我们描述一位患有OVF的老年男性患者球囊扩张失败的情况。
一名患有L1椎体骨质疏松性骨折的老年男性计划接受椎体后凸成形术。球囊插入并充气，但超过22 - 25个大气压（大气压）时，设备显示“错误”并归零。安装支架的球囊再次出现这种情况，手术被放弃并进行了椎体成形术。
由于球囊故障导致椎体后凸成形术中球囊扩张失败是一种罕见的并发症，迄今为止尚未见报道。
