Migration of luque rods through a laminectomy defect causing spinal cord compression

DJ Quint and G Salton
Department of Radiology, University of Michigan Hospitals, Ann Arbor 48109-0030.

Internal fixation of traumatic spinal injuries has been associated with spinal canal stenosis, spinal cord compression, and nerve root impingement. We present a case of spinal cord/cauda equina compression due to migration of intact, anchored thoracolumbar Luque rods into the spinal canal through a laminectomy defect, leading to neurologic complications 10 years after the original operation.
