- Adjacent Bi-Level Bilateral Pedicle Stress Fractures After Instrumented Posterolateral Lumbar Fusion - a Case Report and Review of the LiteraturePublication . Jorge, JP; Carvalho, NIsolated bilateral pedicle stress fractures of the lumbar spine are rare events, and few cases are reported in the literature. Their occurrence is commonly related to post-operative complications of spine instrumentation but can also be associated with stress-related activities, degenerative spine conditions, trauma and other miscellaneous causes. The authors report a case of adjacent bi-level bilateral pedicle fracture that developed 5 years after an instrumented posterolateral lumbar fusion. We believe that this has never been described before, and we reviewed the current literature pertaining this subject.
