      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Crossover, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Patients will be divided into intervention and control groups using block randomization based on generated numbers by Random allocation software. Thus, in this software, first the number of groups and the total number of the sample size will be entered, and then in the block section, the Block randomization method will be selected. Patients will be allocated in intervention or control groups based on generated numbers.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Patients in this group undergoing a combined procedure consisting of transpedicular balloon kyphoplasty followed by short-segment posterior instrumentation.First Balloon kyphoplasty wI'll be performed at the level of the fractured vertebra. After standard preparation, inflatable bone tamps will inserted via a transpedicular approach and gradually inflated under fluoroscopic guidance to restore endplate height and create an intravertebral cavity. The cavity will subsequently filled with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement under continuous fluoroscopic monitoring.Following cement augmentation, short-segment posterior instrumentation will performed using a pedicle screw–rod system. Intervention 2: Control group: Patients in this group undergoing conventional short-segment posterior instrumentation using a pedicle screw–rod system.</i_freetext>
