Radiographs of the thoracic- and lumbar spine and pelvic region of an FBSS patient. A The spinal cord stimulation electrode projects centrally at the level of Th8–Th10 on the anterior–posterior view. B The lateral view shows that the electrode projects over the posterior one-third of the spinal canal at levels Th8–Th10. C, D The internalized pulse generator can be observed projecting over the left gluteal region. Extension cables can be observed between the internalized pulse generator and the spinal cord stimulation electrode. Osteosynthesis materials can be observed projecting over the sacroiliac joint bilaterally and the lumbosacral joint. The vertebral column shows no anterior or posterior displacement. Degenerative changes in the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae can be observed with anterior and lateral osteophytes
