Long iliac screw fixation in a case of isthmic spondyloptosis

BACKGROUND: We report the case of a patient with a spondyloptosis who presented with progressive deformity and worsening neurological deficits. The patient had two previous lumbosacral instrumented fusions. CASE DESCRIPTION: A salvage revision surgery was performed, in which long iliac screws along...

description BACKGROUND: We report the case of a patient with a spondyloptosis who presented with progressive deformity and worsening neurological deficits. The patient had two previous lumbosacral instrumented fusions. CASE DESCRIPTION: A salvage revision surgery was performed, in which long iliac screws along with anterior column support at L5-S1 were used to immobilize the lumbosacral junction. Two years after the procedure a solid fusion is seen along with marked neurological improvement. CONCLUSIONS: Pelvic fixation using long iliac screws is a very useful technique that can be employed when revision surgery for high-grade spondylolisthesis is needed.
