A VCR at L2 and interbody at L4-5 targeting the laterolisthesthesis got the job done. What was invaluable was preoperative planning, especially for the sagittal plane. Having a pre-printed rod by Medicrea/Unid as a template really helped prevent overcorrection at the level of the VCR.

Also nice is using a massive banana TLIF cage to fill the corpectomy, especially in collapsed fractures - NuVasive's Modulus TLIF-A has a huge footprint, almost a mini XLIF interbody...
