case_images: Preoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. (a) Axial and sagittal computed tomography views of the lumbar vertebral body show bone fragments from the L5 vertebral body protruding into the center of the spinal canal, with a spinal canal occupancy rate of 82.35% and an anterior edge height ratio of the injured vertebra of 53% and (b) magnetic resonance sagittal and axial images show spinal stenosis at the L5 level caused by prominent fracture fragments.

case_images: Lumbar spine computed tomography confirmed an L5 vertebral burst fracture, spinal stenosis, and multiple transverse lumbar process fractures, while lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging identified an L5 burst fracture with posterior compression causing spinal stenosis, cauda equina nerve compression, backward displacement, and right intervertebral foramen compression stenosis (see Figure 1).
