description PURPOSE: To report a serious complication of the StaXx FX system used to stabilize an osteoporotic vertebral fracture. CASE REPORT: A 76-year-old woman presented with a painful vertebral fracture. Treatment by means of a PEEK wafer kyphoplasty was complicated by malposition of the wafers. The patient recovered fully after removal of the wafers by means of a thoracotomy. CONCLUSIONS: New treatment modalities have their own pitfalls and possible complications, as demonstrated in this case report. Caution regarding implementation of new treatment modalities should be practiced.
