The radical operation by direct approach was made to 15 cases of spinal tuberculosis. 9 menand 6 women completed the study. Their age ranged from 17 to 73 years and the highest frequency appeared in 40 to 50 years old. The number of patients with diseased portion of cervical vertebrae was 2 cases, that of thoracic vertebrae 3, thoraco-lumbar transition 1, lumbar vertebrae 4 and lumbo-sacral parts 5 respectively. 2 cases with complication of spinal paralysis had the diseased portion of thoracic vertebrae.As a general rule, we did the spinal fusion after a meticulous debridement of the diseased portion and the transplantation of long and large bone fragment. Patients were allowed to get up and sit down about 3 months after the operation and to discliorge about six months after and to resume their regular work one year after.
