Abstract
According to the conventional treatment strategy, once the spinal tuberculosis lesion is debridement, followed by grafting and stabilization, the disease is considered cured even though kyphosis remains. From 1980 to 2006, the author carried out Posterior Vertebral Column Resection (PVCR) and correction in 305 cases with angular kyphosis, including 85 patients with tuberculous kyphosis. These patients achieved satisfactory results. The objective of this chapter is to promote the surgical technique, and overwhelm the perception of tuberculous angular kyphosis as an “incurable disease” into a “curable disease.”
