Unilateral Nerve Root Ligation for Multilevel Vertebral Column Resection After Fixed Post-infectious Deformity
Kyphotic deformity is a well-recognized complication of thoracic vertebral osteomyelitis, often requiring multi-level vertebral column resection for mobilization of the spine and reduction of the deformity. We present a case of severe post-infectious kyphosis treated with multi-level vertebral colum...

description | Kyphotic deformity is a well-recognized complication of thoracic vertebral osteomyelitis, often requiring multi-level vertebral column resection for mobilization of the spine and reduction of the deformity. We present a case of severe post-infectious kyphosis treated with multi-level vertebral column resection via a unilateral approach. We obtained excellent decompression and deformity correction without neurologic decline. We review relevant literature regarding spinal cord blood supply and known potential complication of nerve root ligations. |
