From: A novel surgical strategy of three column osteotomy at non-lesioned area for correcting severe angular kyphosis due to Pott’s disease: a retrospectively study

Figure 2

21-year-old male patient presented with severe sharp angular kyphosis caused by Pott’s diseaset with the tuberculosis lesion extending from T4 to T9. Panel (a) illustrates a lateral radiograph of the entire spine, while panel (b) reveals the computed tomography (CT) image, indicating partial correction of the compensatory curve following six months of halo-pelvic traction, yet the pronounced angular kyphosis persists. Panel (c) provides a three-dimensional (3D) CT reconstruction, highlighting the severity of the angular kyphosis. Panels (d, e, and f) display postoperative lateral radiographs and CT scans demonstrating that targeted osteotomy at T10 yielded satisfactory realignment, with the acute angular deformity addressed. Finally, panel (g) presents an intraoperative photograph showcasing the spinal cord at T10 subsequent to a 3-column osteotomy.
