One‐Stage Anterior Approach with Arch Plate to Treat Lumbosacral Tuberculosis

This study demonstrated the effectiveness of one‐stage anterior debridement, bone grafting, and arch plate fixation to treat lumbosacral tuberculosis. The risk of intraoperative and postoperative complications, such as injury to major vessels, could be minimized. This surgical procedure had many advantages, including a shorter operation time, less blood loss, and better functional recovery over the conventional combined anterior and posterior approach.
