Does Preserving or Restoring Lumbar Lordosis Have an Impact on Functional Outcomes in Tuberculosis of the Lumbosacral Region?

ConclusionsEarly disease with minimal loss of lordosis can be managed conservatively, whereas in advanced disease with gross hypolordosis/kyphosis, posterior stabilization with or without global spinal reconstruction is essential to regain LL. The management of lumbosacral tuberculosis should aim at preserving or restoring the normal LL to achieve good functional outcomes.Level of EvidenceLevel III.
