Vertebral fractures can sometimes result in severe painful deformity of the spine. The case that I present it has been treated about a year ago to stabilize a severe spinal fracture type C (very unstable) the seventh and eighth thoracic vertebra. Despite the surgery immediately, the fracture has healed and has come to create a severe deformity in kyphosis and scoliosis of the thoracic spine with pain and disability for the patient.
The program now is to do surgical instruments to remove the device, correct the spinal deformity by osteotomy and then replace a new instrument for pedicle fixation combined with a more extensive fusion using homologous bone apposition.
