[Experience in treating patients with tuberculous spondylitis]
Abstract:
Some experience in treating 144 patients with tuberculous spondylitis is presented. The cervical, thoracic, and lumbar parts of the spine were affected in 12, 83, and 49 patients, respectively. Medical and surgical treatment was performed in 82 (57%) and 62 (43%) patients, respectively. The medical treatment included the use of antituberculous drugs, pathogenetic exposures, and an orthopedic regimen. The surgical treatment was a stage of multimodality therapy in 62 patients and it involved the radical elimination of a specific inflammation focus, followed by bone defect replacement and vertebral ceramic implant stabilization. The long-term results were studied in the periods of 2 to 10 years. All the patients were found to have a formed osseous block: exacerbations and recurrences being absent.

Crossover Experiments
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.
