X-ray review: post op x-ray for thoraco ¿ ilium fusion provided.There appears to be loosening of the ilium set screws.On one side of the construct, the rod appears too short.This failure may be caused by lack of bony fusion, failure to torque tighten the screws, or improper rod contouring leading to a ¿pre stress¿ on the screw head.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
