[Use of carbon-carbonic implants in surgery of tuberculous spondylitis].

For surgical treatment of spinal tuberculosis, carbon-carbonic implants were used for anterior spondylosis in 29 patients; in 14 of them bone autografts were additionally applied. Carbon-carbonic implants reliably fixed the operated part of the vertebral column, prevented an increase in kyphotic deformity, and, in combined plastic repair, created favorable conditions for consolidation of bone autografts. A bone-carbon block formed in the late postoperative period.
