 We encountered a 67-year-old woman with tuberculous spondylitis. An MRI study revealed lesions of the vertebral bodies extending from L3 to S1 and a mass lesion on the anterior surface of the sacral bone. The first curettage of the vertebral lesions was performed. Since bone grafting could not be performed and anterior support for the spine was inadequate, we performed a posterior reconstruction of the spine with instrumentation as a secondary surgery. At present, the patient has not suffered from any lower back pain for three years since the surgery. Imaging examinations also revealed the absence of any instrument failure or evidence of relapse of the tuberculosis. Our experience with this case highlights the potential utility of spinal instrumentation. However, the long-term results of using instrumentation for the treatment of tuberculous spondylitis must be taken into consideration, and meticulous attention must be paid to the use of instruments in infected lesions.
