Case number 2. Preoperative image evaluation. a, b Radiograph showing T11–12 involvement. c Computed tomography (CT) and d magnetic resonance imagery (MRI). The sagittal T2-weighted MRI showed a T11 vertebral mass with collapse and kyphosis, compressing the spinal cord. e–i Operation technique and specially formed titanium mesh cages. j Postoperative radiograph. k–m Postoperative CT showing the kyphosis is correct. n–q The latest follow-up at 48 months postoperatively showed that the internal fixation was in good shape, interbody fusion had been obtained, and there were no signs of tuberculosis recurrence
