Additionally, the use of PEEK cages in Pott\u2019s spine has remained unestablished.Methods: Using the hospital records and imaging database obtained from January 2014 to January 2020, this study retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent surgery for Pott\u2019s spine and met the eligibility criteria.Results: This study included 230 patients with a mean\u00b1standard deviation age of 47.7\u00b118.1 years (109 males, 121 females). The Visual Analog Scale score, Oswestry Disability Index, and Cobb angle were significantly improved in these patients (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;0.001). Patients who underwent anterior reconstruction had a greater correction in Cobb angle postoperatively (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt;=0.042) but also had a greater blood loss (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt;=0.04). During the follow-up, they experienced a significant loss of correction compared with those who only underwent transpedicular decompression (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt;=0.026). Nevertheless, patients who underwent anterior reconstruction using mesh\/PEEK cages showed no significance difference in the clinical or radiological outcomes.Conclusions: Transpedicular decompression used in the surgical management of Pott\u2019s spine showed favorable clinical and radiological outcomes. The additional use of anterior reconstruction obtained equivalent clinical outcomes but resulted in excessive blood loss. Meanwhile, the use of mesh\/PEEK cage for anterior reconstruction did not affect the clinical and radiological outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.31616\/asj.2021.0008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,10]],"date-time":"2021-12-10T00:19:36Z","timestamp":1639095576000},"page":"173-182","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.31616\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Surgical
