Sumario:BACKGROUND: Sublaminar bands have been used in addition to pedicle screw placement in the correction of idiopathic scoliosis forming a so-called hybrid construct. OBSERVATIONS: In this article, the authors present several cases that demonstrate the potential applications of sublaminar bands in oncological spine surgery. The potential applications are divided into three categories: (1) as an additional tool in salvage procedures, (2) to correct kyphosis in pathological fractures, and (3) for bone graft anchoring to the spine. LESSONS: The cases presented in this article demonstrate the potential beneficial effects of the sublaminar bands in addition to pedicle screw placement.
