Oral health is an The open decompression and stabilization under general anesthesia are thought to be necessary for unstable compression fractures with accompanying canal compromise. With advancement of percutaneous minimally invasive techniques, however, it is technically feasible and safe to remove the intracanal bone fragment with percutaneous endoscopic techniques influenced by Anthony Yeung of the United States for the transforaminal visualized YESS technique. Method: • Local anesthesia. • Percutaneous pedicle screw fixation and fusion to restore stability. • Intracanal bone fragment was removed from both sides by percutaneous endoscope for decompression.
