A 25-year-old male who underwent anterior-posterior surgery and short-segment fixation. a Preoperative sagittal CT reconstruction shows destruction of L2 and L3 vertebrae and narrowing of the L2-L3 intervertebral space. b. The preoperative sagittal contrast-enhanced MRI shows confounding signals in L2 and L3 vertebrae, destruction of the L2-L3 intervertebral space, and nerve compression. c, d Postoperative X-ray anteroposterior image shows that the strut bone is located firmly between the affected vertebrae, the short-segment fixation is excellent, and the L2 and L3 vertebrae are fixed with short pedicle screws. e Three months after surgery, the sagittal CT reconstruction shows that the lesion of L2 and L3 vertebrae is removed completely, and the strut bone is located firmly. f Five years after surgery, the sagittal CT reconstruction shows healing of L2 and L3 tuberculosis lesions and bone graft fusion
