A 24 years old male with L1-3 TB reconstructed by none-structural bone a, b, c. Pre-OP sagittal CT and MRI films demonstrate the destructed vertebral bodies and local kyphosis. d, e. The immediate post-OP X-ray films show the reconstruction of the lumbar alignment with internal fixation. f. Six-month follow-up CT scan films demonstrate the grafter bone fusion in not good. g. Two-year follow-up CT scan films show the intervertebral bone fusion as the formation of bone bridge and the lumbar alignment is maintained in spite of the bad grafter bone fusion.

Background Many types of bone grafting have been reported for successful use in achieving anterior column support and bone fusion after one stage posterior debridement in the treatment of lumbar spinal tuberculosis. However, none-structural bone grafting has rarely been studied. This study was aimed to identify the feasibility of none-structural bo...

Background: With the widespread use of the posterior surgery, more and more surgeons chose posterior surgery to treat thoracic and lumbar tuberculosis. But others still believed that the anterior surgery is more conducive to eradicating the lesions, and easier to place larger bone pieces for bone graft fusion. We compared the clinical and radiologi...
Posterior fixation is superior to anterior fixation in the correction of kyphosis and maintenance of spinal stability for the treatment of thoracic spinal tuberculosis. However, the process of selecting the appropriate spinal fixation method remains controversial, and preoperative biomechanical evaluation has not yet been investigated. In this stud...
Background:
Pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis (PVO), which is a potentially life-threatening condition and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, is a cause of back pain that can lead to neurologic deficits if not diagnosed in time and effectively treated. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of posterior single-s...
Purpose:
This study is aimed at comparing the clinical efficacy of cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screw fixation and pedicle screw (PS) fixation of the affected vertebrae in lumbar tuberculosis.
Methods:
We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes in 52 patients (27 cases in the CBT group, 25 cases in the PS group) with lumbar TB who underwent post...
Background Various bone grafting have been reported to achieve anterior column support and bone fusion after one stage posterior debridement in the treatment of lumbar tuberculosis. However, nonstructural bone grafting has been rarely studied. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of nonstructural bone grafting versus structural bone grafting in...
