Abstract
Aims: This research aims to evaluate functional, neurological, and radiological outcomes of patients treated with posterior decompression with instrumented fusion in thoracic and thoracolumbar tuberculosis. Method Records: of 8 men and 10 women aged 22 to 58 years who underwent posterior decompression with instrumented fusion were followed up for a minimum one year were reviewed. Comparative analytic design with prospective approach using the Oswetry Disability Index (ODI), Frankel grading, and Local Kyphus angle were evaluated preoperatively, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months postoperatively. The data were then collected and analysed with Mann-Whitney U-test, Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test, and Spearman’s Correlation test. Results: The mean ODI score improved from 72.35 to 28.2 at one year follow-up (p<0.01). Frankel grading was grade B in 2, grade C in 4, grade D in 7, and grade E in 5, which improved to grade C in 1, grade D in 3, and grade E in 14 at one year follow-up. The mean preoperative kyphus angle in the thoracal was lesser than thoracolumbar (14.0 vs 30.9) (p<0,001). The mean surgical correction was 18.50. Conclusions: Posterior decompression with instrumentation is an effective procedure for surgical treatment of thoracal and thoracolumbar tuberculosis in better functional outcome, patient satisfaction, and neurological improvement from preoperative to one-year follow-up.
