Transpedicular bi‐vertebrae wedge osteotomy in treatment of post‐tubercular spinal deformity: A retrospective study

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders Apr 16, 2021

Huang Y, Hu W, Li J, et al. - In this study, the efficacy of the transpedicular bi-vertebrae osteotomy technique in patients with Pott’s kyphosis and other post-tubercular spinal deformity was explored. Researchers included a total of 18 patients with post-tubercular spinal deformity who had undergone the transpedicular bi-vertebrae wedge osteotomy, with a minimum follow-up of 27.0 months between January 2012 and December 2015. They further assessed preoperative and postoperative kyphotic angle, sagittal plane parameters (TK for thoracic deformity, thoracolumbar kyphosis for thoracolumbar, and LL for lumbar deformity), and sagittal vertical axis. It has been reported that, for post-tubercular spinal deformity, transpedicular bi-vertebrae wedge osteotomy was found to be a safe and effective treatment option. With adequate decompression of neurological elements, this method achieves satisfying correction and fusion rates.
