Comparing surgical methods for thoracolumbar spinal tuberculosis, anterior internal fixation offers faster recovery and better deformity correction but increases costs and bleeding. Conventional and modern techniques complement each other for treating spinal tuberculosis.

Area of Science:

  • Spinal surgery
  • Infectious diseases
  • Orthopedics

Context:

  • Thoracolumbar spinal tuberculosis presents complex treatment challenges.
  • Evaluating surgical interventions is crucial for patient outcomes.
  • Traditional and novel operative approaches exist for this condition.

Purpose:

  • To compare the pros and cons of conventional surgery versus anterior debridement, auto grafting, and internal fixation for thoracolumbar spinal tuberculosis.
  • To analyze the application principles of these surgical methods.

Summary:

  • A study involving 57 patients with thoracolumbar spinal tuberculosis compared different surgical techniques.
  • Anterior internal fixation demonstrated improved postoperative mobility and kyphosis correction but higher costs and blood loss.
