ABSTRACT
Surgery for degenerative cervical myelopathy has been increasing in incidence. Almost 20% of patients have complications related to their surgery, although hardware extrusion is rare and generally reported in the first post-operative month. We report the case of a woman with new dysphagia and hoarseness secondary to traumatic screw dislodgement into her pre-vertebral space 5â¯months after cervical discectomy.
