• To investigate the feasibility, clinical indications and significance of one-stage radical eradication, wedged vertebral osteotomy and instrumentation in the treatment of tuberculosis of thoracic and lumbar spine associated with kyphosis or scoliokyphosis through a purely posterior procedure. Sixteen cases with tuberculosis of thoracic and lumbar spine associated with kyphosis or scoliokyphosis were treated by one-stage radical eradication, wedged vertebral osteotomy and instrumentation fixation through posterior procedure. All patients included 12 males and 4 females, and the average age was 37.1 years (from 17 to 53 years). The preoperative average Cobb angle of kyphosis was 78.3 degrees (range from 54 degrees to 138 degrees ). There were 2 cases associated with scoliosis (the Cobb angle of scoliosis was 31 degrees and 24 degrees), and 1 case with lateral transition. Spinal cord compression were found in 7 cases. According to the Frankel's classification, 2 cases belonged to C degree, and 5 cases to D degre
