Abstract EN
We report a case of a 67-year-old female with severely destabilized lumbar spine caused by metastatic malignant tumor.
The primary lesion was a thyroid follicular adenocarcinoma.
Complete destruction of the L3, L4, and L5 vertebrae had resulted in severe instability, which left the patient with severe back pain and bed-ridden.
Since the vertebrae were so severely damaged at 3 levels, 4 rods were used to stabilize the spine.
Following stabilization, the pain was alleviated and the patient’s quality of life improved.
We introduce here the 4-rod technique to stabilize the spine over 3 vertebral levels following severe destruction by metastatic tumor.
