Event or Problem Description
It was reported that the patient underwent vertebral body anterior replacement at l2 due to compression fracture of vertebral body.Post-op, it was found that the cage has backed out by checking x-ray image after 2 weeks of operation.The patient was able to walk with a cane and there was no health damage in the patient at this point.However, it was checked by image that the extended endcap has contacted with the kidney and it was forecasted that serious damage will occur if the cage contacts with the anterior major blood vessel.Bone quality was very bad.It was found by checking the x-ray image taken in the first week after the operation that the vertebral body of the most upper level fractured.Maybe the screw at l4 loosened.Hence an revision surgery performed on (b)(6) 2020 in which all of the screws on the posterior side were removed and to replace the screws with thick screws and after that, retrieve the cage which backed out to the anterior side and to insert autologous bone.
