• Anterior interbody fusion L4-S1, using PEAK and autogenous rib bone graft
• Anterior interbody fusion T10-L4 using morselized bone graft
• Posterior Spinal Fusion T10 to Sacral Pelvis

ResultsThe original surgical plan was to fuse T10 to S1.
Spinal balance was achieved by T12, therefore two levels were spared.
