BACKGROUND: S2 alar-iliac screws (S2AIS) are widely used to anchor the pelvis to a lumbar fusion. Here, we report a patient who experienced repetitive dislodgement of the set screws of the S2AIS following a posterior instrumented fusion.
CASE DESCRIPTION: A 68-year-old male presented with an L3 metastasis and L2-L3 subluxation attributed to renal cell cancer. Following an L2-L5 posterior decompression and T9-pelvic fusion utilizing bilateral S2AIS fixation, the set screws of the S2AIS repeatedly dislodged, requiring two additional operations. The final surgery required multiple anchors to the ilium and provided adequate fixation until the patient's expiration.
CONCLUSION: The set screw fixing force was weaker than the fixing force of the S2AIS; multiple iliac anchors effectively salvaged this condition.
