Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1992, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The revievv of 24 patients with spinal tuberculosis treated with modified Hong Kong operation as decribed by Hodgson and Stock in 1960 plus anterior instrumentation with Alıcı Spinal System and chemotheraphy between 1990-1994 in Dokuz Eylül University Hospital are evaluated in this article. The mean age was 44.75 and the mear follow-up vvas 25 months (12 months-65 months). Our results show that anterior debridement, grafting and anterior instrumentation provide immediate stability, protect the development of progressive kyphosis and gives better correction. No reactivation findings were seen and ali patients were satisfied.
