 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 14 Fixation progress in the treatment of spinal tuberculosis [Keywords:] internal fixation of spinal tuberculosis Bone and joint TB is pulmonary tuberculosis is a good site, and bone and joint tuberculosis of spinal tuberculosis accounted for first. Prone to disease in adult upper and lower vertebral body to osteolytic destruction of the main causes narrowing of intervertebral space. When the vertebra are external force, may lead to pathologic compression fractures, can cause serious and even a paraplegic. in the regular chemotherapy, surgery on the basis of active fixation surgery can restore the stability of the spine, correct deformity, shortening the treatment period, patients with reduced time in bed to promote tuberculosis cure or stationary, reducing disability, improving quality of life of patients. At present internal fixation has become the trend in the treatment of spinal tuberculosis [1]. In recent years, surgical treatment of spinal tuberculosis rapid development of the lesion removed from the original simple to the reconstruction of spinal stability, the gradual emergence of fusion and internal fixation for the treatment of TB become effective in promoting healing. The main purpose of internal fixation is to give full play to immediate reconstruction of spinal fixation stability, promotion of local tuberculosis control and bone fusion, to rest and repair of tuberculosis lesions in order to correct and maintain better correction of the deformity has been to make the spine back to normal sequence, has been lifted effective disarmament and maintain the pressure on the spinal cord lesions. using internal fixation should be under the patient to choose a different approach and internal fixation methods. should be clear of chemotherapy is still the basis for the treatment of spinal tuberculosis, surgical treatment is an aid to carry out a reasonable and complete anti-TB chemotherapy in the treatment of spinal tuberculosis is th
