Comparison of two surgical approaches in treating children with thoracolumbar junction tuberculosis: a multicenter study
For pediatric TLJ TB involving no or at most two segments, both posterior-anterior and posterior-only approaches could effectively remove lesions and decompress the spinal cord, restore spinal stability, correct kyphosis, and prevent deformity deterioration. Nonetheless, the posterior-only approach can more effectively shorten the surgical time, reduce related trauma and complications, and promote rapid recovery, making it a safer and highly preferable minimally invasive approach.
