The Extended Posterior Circumferential Decompression Technique in the Management of Tubercular Spondylitis with and without Paraplegia.

Study Design: Retrospective clinical series.

Purpose: To study the clinical, functional and radiological results of patients with tuberculous spondylitis with and without paraplegia, treated surgically using the "Extended Posterior Circumferential Decompression (EPCD)" technique.

Overview Of Literature: With the increasing possibility of addressing all three columns by a single approach, posterior and posterolateral approaches are gaining acceptance.

Changes in the spinopelvic parameters of elite weight lifters.

Objective: To describe the changes in the spinopelvic parameters in weight lifters and evaluate the factors leading to spinal anatomical changes (eg, spondylolysis and listhesis).

Design: Case-control study.

Setting: Tertiary, institutional.
