Description
A growth of blood vessels inside a backbone can, in rare cases, crack the bone itself. Shailesh Hadgaonkar, Sameer Nagpal, and Parag Sancheti report such a case. A sixty-nine-year-old man had a lowest lumbar bone that had nearly collapsed, pressing on the nerve sac and leaving his left leg weak and numb. The spot, where spine meets pelvis, bears heavy loads and is hard to reach.
The surgeons propped the bone from inside with a stent and cement, then fixed the spine to the pelvis with image-guided screws, while freeing the pinched nerves. A year later the man reported lasting pain relief and full nerve recovery, with the repair holding on scans. The team offers the plan as a model for similar fragile spots.
