Fig. 1

Standing radiographs and images of a 50-year-old male patient with severe post-tubercular kyphosis. a, b Preoperative lateral and antero-posterior radiographs, demonstrating severe angular kyphosis, with preoperative kyphotic angle 86° and sagittal vertical axis 45 mm. c, d Preoperative appearance in side and posterior view. e Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging scanning demonstrates stenosis adjacent to the angular kyphosis and severe spinal compression. f Preoperative computed tomography scanning demonstrates severe angular kyphosis and “buckling collapse.” g, h Postoperative lateral and antero-posterior radiographs, showing correction of thoracolumbar kyphosis after PVCR of T11, T12, and L1, with postoperative kyphotic angle 27° and sagittal vertical axis 33 mm. i, j Postoperative lateral and antero-posterior radiographs, showing excellent correction of thoracolumbar angular kyphosis and osteotomy site fusion at the 24-month follow-up, with kyphotic angle 29° and sagittal vertical axis 42 mm. k, l Postoperative appearance in side and posterior view
