“…The most common reported cause of flatback syndrome is the extension of distraction instrumentation into the lower lumbar spine or sacrum [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][14][15][16] . It has also been reported following the use of anterior thoracolumbar compression instrumentation without structural graft support, but this is a rare occurrence 17 .…”

Caudally, the fusion should be stopped at or cephalad to L3 except when a more caudad level is absolutely required to prevent curve progression or decompensation [4][5][6][7][8] . In addition to decreasing the risk of postoperative loss of lumbar lordosis, saving caudad fusion segments in the lumbar spine may decrease the risks of pseudarthrosis and late low-back pain, retrolisthesis, and degeneration of adjacent segments caudad to the fusion mass 9,14,18,50,51 .…”
