A 27-year-old male with T8/9 lesions was performed by posterior-only approach. a-d The pre-operative imaging data showed T8/9 presented with severe bone destruction, formation of local paraspinal abscess and compression of spinal cord. The postoperative anterior-posterior (e) and lateral X-ray (f) indicated posterior long-segment fixation was in good position.
