    Abstract:
    In our research we have discussed a rare case of penetration of screw into the thoracic aorta after stabilization of thoracic spine due to compressive fracture of IV thoracic vertebra. We have focused on existence of potential danger of damage of aorta during stabilization of the posterior part of thoracic spine. We have emphasized the meaning of prophylactic implantation of stent-graft into the site of potential damage of aorta before the restabilization of the vertebral column.
