Abstract

Old healed spinal tuberculosis sometimes makes bony ankylosis with kyphotic deformity. This bony ankylosis with adjacent vertebra is like ankylosing spinal disorders (ASDs) such as ankylosing spondylitis and diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. There is lots of report which revealed that conservative management might be failed in thoracolumbar fracture in ASDs. However, there is no report which shows surgical treatment was finally done because conservative management was failed in fracture healing of fusion mass caused by old spinal tuberculosis.
