Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of radical debridement and spinal fusion with internal fixation in surgical management of cervical spinal tuberculosis with kyphosis deformity.Methods:There were 14 cases in this series.The mean age was 32 years.14 cases of cervical spinal tuberculosis were radical focus debrided and grafted with iliac bone.5 cases were fixed with Orion,4 cases with Zephir,4 cases with Codman and 1 case with Apofix.The brace was needed for 3 months after surgery.Results:The period of follow-up lasted 21 months.All patients achieved satisfactory results,and showed successful interboby fusion within 3～6 months.The kyphosis deformity were corrected and the normal cervical lordoisis were maintained without associated complication.The neural symptoms were improved.All patients had no recurrence of tuberculosis.There were no plates and screws complications.Conclusion:It is safe and effective to treat cervical spinal tuberculosis by anterior radical debridement with primary autograft and internal fixation,and it is a good treatment option with high correction rate in local kyphosis deformity,high fusion,and low complication rate.
