An Unusual Presentation of Tubercular Spondylodiscitis with Severe Lumbar Kyphosis Corrected with Pedicle Subtraction Osteotomy - A Case Report

Background: Pott's disease, a severe manifestation of musculoskeletal tuberculosis, poses significant challenges due to spinal deformity and instability. This report documents a rare case of severe lumbar kyphosis corrected using pedicle subtraction osteotomy. Case: A 22 - year - old female presented with chronic low back pain and progressive kyphotic deformity. Imaging confirmed tubercular spondylodiscitis, and surgical intervention successfully restored spinal stability. Conclusion: This case highlights the efficacy of pedicle subtraction osteotomy in managing advanced Pott's disease.
