Comparison of Clinical Outcomes of Posterior-Only Transforaminal Debridement and Interbody Fusion With Preservation of Posterior Ligamentous Complex Versus Conventional Posterior-Only Debridement and Interbody Fusion for Thoracic Spine Tuberculosis:
PTDIF, with preservation of PLC, achieved debridement, decompression, and reconstruction of the spine's stability, similar to CPDIF in the surgical treatment of thoracic STB. PTDIF has less surgical trauma with less intraoperative blood loss and operation time.
