Description

Abstract

Spinal tuberculosis (TB), also known as Pott's spine or Koch's spine, is the most common form of skeletal tuberculosis and a significant health challenge in India. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate the epidemiological trends, clinical features, diagnostic methods, treatment outcomes, and management strategies for spinal TB in India from 2000 to 2025. It also explores the impact of drug-resistant TB on treatment outcomes and discusses advancements in diagnostics and surgical techniques.
