Adjacent segment degeneration and spinal cord compression in rigid angular kyphosis of spinal tuberculosis and its intraoperative management strategy.

Conclusion: PVCR is an effective procedure for the correction of rigid angular kyphosis in patients with spinal tuberculosis. Adjacent segment degeneration is an important risk factor for causing neurologic deficits, and posterior surgical management for angular kyphosis of thoracolumbar tuberculosis and spinal decompression using mPSO are recommended.
