title: [Recovery of the support capacity of the vertebral column in patients with tuberculous spondylitis].
abstract: The paper presents the results of anterior spine fusion in 250 patients with tuberculous spondylitis involving 2 to 8 vertebrae, by using free and non-free autologous bone grafts, carbonaceous implants, and revascularized transplants. Anterior spine fusion added to posterior spinal fixation with a CD-type metal construction. A tuberculous process in the spine was cured in 96.1% of cases; the spinal support capability recovery rate was 95.2% in the early postoperative period and in 93.5% in the late one.
