Excluding 8 patients who were unclassifiable, we categorized 29 patients into 3 groups of similar backgrounds—thoracolumbar degenerative disease (the DEG group; n = 15), osteoporotic vertebral collapse (the OVC group; n = 10), and cervical disorders (the cervical group; n = 4)—and investigated the key to implant salvage. Final respective implant retention rates for the groups were 40, 0, and 100%, with the OVC group having the worst rate (p
