Application of the sternum-splitting approach is relatively rare in anterior spinal surgery.We treated a 66-year-old woman with a metastatic lesion in the second and third thoracic vertebrae. The first operation using this approach was not successful, with the cause of failure appearing to be inability to gain a sufficiently large operative field for removing the metastatic tumor. When removing metastatic tumors, bleeding occurs easily. The second operation using the posterior approach was conducted 2 months after the first. Following resection of the tumor in the spinal canal, Luque instruments and bone cement encasement were used to reconstruct the spine.Therefore, we concluded that treatment of upper thoracic metastatic tumors by this sternum-splitting approach appears difficult.
