A novel classification of osteotomized debridement based on the range of focus in treating active thoracolumbar tuberculosis: a multicenter study
Osteotomized debridement (OD) is increasingly used in the treatment of active thoracolumbar tuberculosis (TB). So far, no nomenclature has been established to describe the patterns of OD, and thus the surgica...
