We present a 79-year-old female patient who had L2-5 dynamic stabilization with cement (Polymethylmethacrylate) injection 6 weeks prior. Due to post-operative right radicular pain, a lumbar CT was scheduled in which a malposition of the right L4 screw and cement leakage was observed. Via a percutaneous translaminar endoscopic approach the leaked cement was removed and the portion of the screw in contact with the nerve root was drilled. With this minimal-invasive procedure, the patient was relieved of her radicular pain.
