Anterior column support in posterior lumbar fusion surgery is essential for the outcome of the operation, particularly in the case of unstable pathologies such as spondylolisthesis or spondylodiscitis. The complicated case of a patient with simultaneous spondylolisthesis and spondylodiscitis is presented and reevaluated based on the literature and our own treatment algorithm. In the case of spondylodiscitis alone, iliac crest interposal is sufficient as a support. In the case of additional disturbances of the sagittal profile, a cage implantation is preferred.

Die ventrale Abstützung im Rahmen dorsaler Fusionsoperationen ist insbesondere bei instabilen Pathologien, wie Spondylolisthesen oder Spondylodiszitiden, entscheidend für das Operationsergebnis. Der komplikative Verlauf einer Patientin mit simultan bestehender Spondylolisthese und Spondylodiszitis wird dargestellt und anhand der Literatur und des eigenen Behandlungsalgorithmus reevaluiert. Bei alleiniger Spondylodiszitis ist ein Beckenkamminterponat als Abstützung ausreichend. Bei zusätzlichen Störungen des sagittalen Profils ist eine Cage-Implantation zu bevorzugen.
