Abstract: Decompression of spine can be anterior or posterior. Since potts spine involves anterior column of vertebral body in more than 90% cases, anterior decompression is ideal. Decompression can be with or without instrumentation. Pain assessed by VAS score, neurology grading done using Frankel grade and kyphosis angle measurement by modified Cobbs method. These three parameters were statistically analysed preoperatively and post operatively with follow up of six months.
