Radiographs and photographs of case 7. (A) Sagittal computed tomography scan of the initial injury showed dislocation at L1/L2 levels and significant comminution of the L1 vertebral body. (B) Preoperative lateral X-ray film: Collapse of the anterior column after implant removal and local kyphosis of 52°. (C) Preoperative MRI T2-weighted film. Intraoperative photographs of thoracolumbar spine before (D) and after (E) correction. (F) Immediately postoperative lateral radiograph: The kyphosis was corrected to 12°. (G) Lateral film at 2-year follow-up: Good maintenance of the correction and 4° of correction loss was noted. (H) Computed tomography scan at 2-year follow-up: Solid bony intervertebral fusion was achieved.
