Summary
Internal fixation of spinal injuries can cause complications. This case shows Luque rods migrating into the spinal canal 10 years post-surgery, causing spinal cord compression and neurological issues.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Spinal Surgery
Background:
- Internal fixation for traumatic spinal injuries can lead to spinal canal stenosis, spinal cord compression, and nerve root impingement.
- Delayed complications following spinal surgery require careful consideration.
