Abstract
<b>OBJECTIVE.</b> The purpose of this article is to provide a review of the imaging of spine fixation hardware. <b>CONCLUSION.</b> As the prevalence of neck and back pain continues to increase, so does the number of surgical procedures used to treat such pain. Accordingly, new techniques and hardware designs are used, and the hardware will be seen on postoperative imaging. It is critical that radiologists understand the appropriate imaging modalities for the assessment of spine fixation hardware, recognize the normal imaging appearance of such hardware, and be able to detect hardware-related complications.
