Clinical Outcome of Transpleural Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion Combined with Posterior Open Internal Fixation for the Treatment of One-Segment Thoracic Spondylodiscitis

Data in this study demonstrated that TP-XLIF combined with posterior open internal fixation was an optional strategy in treating thoracic spondylodiscitis and was associated with less surgical trauma and blood loss, fast postoperative recovery, satisfactory intervertebral height and kyphosis correction, and rapid bone graft fusion.
