Background: This study was aimed to investigate the clinical outcome of lumbosacral tuberculosis treatment by one-stage radical debridement with bone allograft reconstruction and anterior instrumentation via a retroperitoneal approach.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a series of 43 patients with lumbosacral tuberculosis in whom the lumbosacral junction was exposed via an anterior midline retroperitoneal approach. After radical debridement, two parallel tricortical iliac crest bone allografts were placed to reconstruct the anterior column, and then anterior fixation was performed.
Results: The mean follow-up period was 34 months (range, 24-91 months), during which no obvious loss of correction was observed. No case experienced recurrence, tuberculous peritonitis, erectile dysfunction, or retrograde ejaculation.
Conclusions: The midline retroperitoneal approach provides direct and safe access to lesions of lumbosacral tuberculosis. Two parallel structural iliac crest allografts and anterior instrumentation effectively stabilize the lumbosacral junction.

Is Restoration of Sagittal Spinopelvic Parameters Necessary in Spinal Tuberculosis of Lumbar and Lumbosacral Spine? Conservative versus Operative Management.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between spinopelvic parameters and functional outcomes in patients with lumbar spine tuberculosis, comparing those who underwent surgical treatment to those who received conservative management.
- A total of 47 patients were analyzed, with significant improvements in functional measures (Oswestry Disability Index and Visual Analog Scale) noted in both groups after 6 months, although surgical patients showed greater enhancements.
- The findings suggest that restoring lumbar lordosis (LL) and other spinopelvic parameters positively impacts recovery, highlighting the effectiveness of surgical intervention over conservative methods.
Surgery for deformities in pediatric spinal tuberculosis: single centre review of 51 cases.
Spine Deform
January 2025
Department of Spine Surgery, Kothari Medical Center, Kolkata, India.
Purpose: To retrospectively report on the clinical presentation, radiological features, indication, and outcome of surgical management of children with posttubercular spinal deformities with long term outcome.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in a single center operated by a single surgeon from 2002 to 2022, and data from an electronic medical record was reviewed. The indications for surgery included failure of medical treatment, to prevent deformity (depending on location, extent of bone loss, stabilization patterns (A, B, or C), and the presence of "Spine at Risk" signs) or correct deformity and in the presence of major neurodeficit.

: This study aims to investigate the postoperative improvement of paralysis, fusion rate and risk factors for kyphosis progression in adults affected with spinal caries. : Overall, 134 patients with spinal caries from the thoracic to lumbar spine from 1992 to 2021 were included in this study. Data concerning the affected level (thoracic, thoracolumbar, lumbar, and lumbosacral), bone fusion rate, and progression of the postoperative local kyphosis angle were collected.

Case: An 11-year-old girl with intact neurology presented with a lumbosacral kyphotic deformity due to healed tuberculosis. Radiological imaging showed sagittal balanced spine with compensatory thoracic lordosis and cervical kyphosis. She underwent L4 and L5 posterior vertebral column resection (PVCR) with posterior instrumentation from L2 to pelvis.
