History of L2 kyphoplasty, with back pain. Evaluate for stability, bone anatomy. Again seen is an anteriorly wedged L3 compression fracture, appearing similar to the prior MRI. There is diffuse sclerosis of the L2 vertebral body, consistent with known kyphoplasty. There are severe degenerative changes affecting the remainder of the lumbar spine with loss of normal lordosis. No evidence of instability across the flexion, neutral, and extension views.
Chronic L3 compression fracture with severe degenerative changes of the lumbar spine, without evidence of instability.
