It was reported that the patient underwent vertebral column resection at t10-l2.Bone quality of the patient was reported as poor.Post-op, the screw placed at l1-l2 loosened; due to which the cage became unstable and inclined.The patient also experienced pain.Hence, a revision surgery was performed and the loosened screw was removed and replaced with a bigger screw.The fusion was also extended to l4 and the cage position was adjusted.The pain disappeared after the revision surgery.
