[Local vertebral body destruction after migration of a nucleus replacement].

We present the case report of a 32-year-old female suffering from severe low back pain because of local vertebral body destruction at L3/4 after migration of PDN-SOLO nucleus replacement. Removal of the dislocated implant via a posterior transforaminal approach was not possible. After posterior stabilisation the implant could be salvaged from the anterior direction, but stabilisation with a vertebral body replacement was necessary.
