The incidence of spinal tuberculosis ranks the first place among the bone and joint tuberculosis, and surgery is an important method of therapy, which can shorten the course of spinal tuberculosis, reduce treatment time and disability rate, and improve the quality of life. One-stage posterior debridement, interbody fusion with instrumentation is a safe and effective surgical approach that conforms to the " minimally invasive" concept, and has gradually become the mainstream surgical method for the treatment of spinal tuberculosis. In addition, radical debridement is relative, and strong internal fixation can better correct deformities and increase the stability of the spine.
