From: Primary pyogenic spondylitis following kyphoplasty: a case report
Anterior posterior (AP) and lateral plain thoracolumbar radiographs six and 24 months after reconstruction and spondylodesis (T11 - L4). We performed the transpedicular fixation with a dual rod system and vertebral replacement of the L1 vertebra using an expandable cage. Reconstruction is stable on both AP and lateral views at six months. Follow-up radiographs at 24 months show no signs of pseudarthrosis or infection.
