Event or Problem Description
It was reported that the patient presented with adult deformity with both coronal and saggital plane imbalance, multilevel spinal stenosis and l5 radiculopathy with weakness and neurogenic claudication.He underwent t11-pelvis fusion.On an unknown date, post-op, scraping had occurred on numerous points of the rod.Two set screws were also found loosened and dislodged.Additionally, there was metallosis around the treated site and pseudoarthrosis at t11-t12 was also reported.Hence, the patient underwent a revision surgery, in which partial removal of rod was performed.A section of the alleged rod was cut and removed for the revision/extension of fusion from t4 to t11, which was performed as a result of proximal junctional kyphosis and junctional failure of t11.Other hardware (screw and set screws) were completely explanted and were replaced with new ones.
