To investigate clinical effect of percutaneous vertebroplasty with second injection for poor dispersion bone cement of Kümmel disease. Eighty-eight patients with Kümmel disease were treated with vertebroplasty from February 2014 to December 2017, and 16 patients were found cement dispersion unsatisfactory during initial cement injection and were undertaken second cement injection during operation. Among patients, there were 1 male and 15 females aged from 63 to 82 years old with an average age of 72.7 years old. Distribution of fractured vertebrae were followed: 1 patient was on T₁₀, 1 patient was on T₁₁, 3 patients were on T₁₂, 8 patients were on L₁, 1 patient was on L₂, and 2 patients were on L₃. VAS and ODI score were compared before operation, 2 days after operation and the latest following-up, anterior vertebral height and local kyphosis angle of fractured vertebrae with intravertebral cleft were also observed. Postoperative complication was recorded. All patients were followed up from 5 to 22 months wit
