Application of transforaminal‑lumbar interbody fusion technology combined with lesion clearance and chemotherapy via catheter for the treatment of spinal tuberculosis
Abstract:The aim of the present study was to analyze the clinical and radiological outcomes of active thoracolumbar spinal tuberculosis (TB) treated by application of transforaminal-lumbar interbody fusion technology combined with lesion clearance and chemotherapy via catheter (TCLC). Posterior debridement and indwelling catheterization in the lesion area were performed for direct injection of anti-TB drugs, so as to reduce the recurrence rate. The present prospective study comprised 26 patients with active thoracolumb… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
