Abstract

The main surgical treatment technique of thoracic and lumbar spine acute injuries is transpedicular fixation, the failure of which, according to the literature data, occurs in 1015% of cases. There are no common views on tactics and the surgical technique used to deal with the consequences of unstable transpedicular spondylosynthesis. And the publications devoted to the use of isolated anterior interventions are the least common.
 We present a case study of the surgical management of the 71 years old patient with secondary thoracolumbar kyphosis that progressed after failed transpedicular fixation of Th12 fracture. The deformity was corrected with one-stage anterior approach and ventral crew system.
