Case presentation. A 61-year-old male patient with previous PLIF surgery at L3-L5 10 months ago was admitted because of the recurrence of back and leg pain. Cage migration was confirmed by both radiograph and CT scan ((a) and (b)). ALLIF revision surgery using a self-anchored cage was performed. Good position of cage levels and satisfactory alignment of the lumbar spine were achieved (c). Fusion was achieved at 12-month follow-up (d).
