A 39-year-old female patient with cervical tuberculosis. A Preoperative X-ray showing bone destruction in the lower cervical spine and narrowing of the intervertebral space. B Preoperative computed tomography (CT) showing bone destruction, narrowing of the intervertebral space, marked swelling of the prevertebral soft tissue, and formation of dead bone and abscesses. C, D Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showing vertebral bone destruction and intraspinal mass leading to significant compression and thinning of the cervical spinal cord. E–I Postoperative X-ray, CT, and MRI showing no loosening or fracture of screws, the implanted iliac crest has fused, the physical curvature of the cervical spine has been restored, and cervical cord compression has been released
