T6 sensory level, computed tomography thoracic studies were performed. These revealed a T8 body fracture and T7/T8 spondyloptosis [Figures 1 and 2].
Preoperative axial (a), sagittal (b), and three-dimensional (c) reconstruction computed tomography revealing a T8 body fracture with spondyloptosis of T7 on T8 concomitant with severe deformity

T6 sensory level, computed tomography thoracic studies were performed. These revealed a T8 body fracture and T7/T8 spondyloptosis [Figures 1 and 2].
Intraoperative illustrations before (a) and after (b) spondylectomy showing complete release of the spine after T8 removal and also cross section of the cord and dura (*). Also we can see intraoperative illustration showing spinal curve after instrumentation (c). Postoperative sagittal reconstructed (d) computed tomography revealing good realignment of the spine with instrumented fusion between T5, T6, T7, T9, T10, and T11

T7/8 deformity, total T8 spondylectomy with discectomy of T7/T8 and T8/T9, and instrumented fusion and bilateral pedicular screw fixation from T5 to T11 [Figure 3]. The accompanying dura laceration was not repaired (circumferential rupture of the cord and dura were noted).
