Incidence and Risk Factors for Implant Failure in Spinal Metastasis Surgery.

Conclusions: The development of radiological implant failure following surgical treatment of spinal metastasis is common. However, symptomatic implant failure leading to revision surgery is uncommon. Our findings suggest that radiotherapy, either before or after spinal surgery, is not associated with the development of implant failure. PMID: 32693440 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
