Abstract:

Bone and joint tuberculosis is one of the most common extrapulmonary tuberculosis. In more than 50% of the patients with bone and joint tuberculosis, infection is located in the spinal column. In recent years, scholars at home and abroad have gradually increased the study of drug release, surgical methods, and internal substances for spinal tuberculosis. These studies are mainly based on the establishment of animal models similar to human spinal tuberculosis. The authors reviewed the important content of the animal model of spinal tuberculosis in recent years, in order to make the relevant researchers understand the characteristics of the establishment of the animal model of spinal tuberculosis.

Key words: Tuberculosis, spinal, Disease models, animal, Research, Review
