A 48-year-old female with thoracic TB (T7–8) treated via a posterior-only debridement, titanium mesh cage, internal fusion, and instrumentation. Preoperative MRI (a and b) and CT (e and d) showed destruction of the T7–8 spinal column with kyphosis. Radiography (e and f) showed definitive bony fusion and maintenance of the correction at the final follow-up. Postoperative MRI (g and h) and CT (i and j) showed complete decompression of the neural component and good bony fusion.
