====== Posterior arch resection ====== The posterior arch resection is indicated for lesions restricted to zones 10-3 of the [[Weinstein Boriani Biagini classification]]. The posterior elements are resected through a single posterior approach, with the pedicles sectioned adjacent to the vertebral body to allow the removal of the posterior arch en-bloc ((http://www.scielo.org.za/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1681-150X2011000300003)).
