Table 3A Changes of k-Cobb angle of different segmental spinal tuberculosis in Group A.
| CT (4) | TT (7) | LT (11) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| T1 (°) | 42.25±6.60 | 72.55±24.65 | 71.14±23.60 |
| T2 (°) | 14.75±3.20* | 21.36±3.83* | 19.71±4.39* |
| T3 (°) | 24.00±8.76 | 37.45±8.94# | 35.00±26.17 |
| F | 18.006 | 32.191 | 22.372 |
| Group A – simple anterior debridement or combined with internal fixation. CT – cervical tuberculosis; TT – thoracic tuberculosis; LT – lumber tuberculosis; T1 – before surgery; T2 – after surgery; T3 – the final follow-up. * k-Cobb angle of different segmental spinal tuberculosis in three groups all significantly decreased after surgery ( # Besides, k-Cobb angle of thoracic tuberculosis in group A significantly increased in the final follow-up compared with post-operation ( Value is expressed as the mean±standard deviation. | |||
