From: Restricted cement augmentation in unstable geriatric midthoracic fractures treated by long-segmental posterior stabilization leads to a comparable construct stability

Figure 2

CT scans after cyclic loading are illustrating one of five cases with ResPSCA, without any signs of screw loosening or implant failure (a), one specimen with cut-out of the right pedicle screw in Th8 (big arrow) and signs of loosening of the right cement-augmented pedicle screw in Th9 (b, small arrows). In (c), one of two specimens is shown with a cut-out of the right cement-augmented pedicle screw of Th9 after ComPSCA (arrow).
