Treatment of Thoracolumbar Spinal Infections through Anterolateral Approaches Using Expandable Titanium Mesh Cage for Spine Reconstruction

Figure 2

(a) Intraoperative picture showing the placement of the expansion mesh. ((b) and (c)) Follow-up pictures taken 12 months apart. They show the correct placement of the fixation system. The mesh is in place with a 3 mm settling. To be noted here is the natural inclination of the mesh on the inferior end plate. This has allowed for restitution of a partial lordosis to the lumbar-sacral column.
