    Objective: In the current study, to demonstrate the advantages of oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF), we focused on the therapeutics for lumbar spinal tuberculosis with the comparison of three treatments, including anterior approach, posterior approach, and OLIF combined with posterior percutaneous pedicle screw fixation.Methods: This study included patients with lumbar spinal tuberculosis from July 2015 to June 2018. We divided these patients into three groups: 35 patients underwent an anterior-only approach (Group A), 36 patients underwent a posterior-only approach (Group B), and 31 patients underwent OLIF combined with posterior percutaneous pedicle screw fixation (Group C).Operation time, blood loss, hospital stays, the visual analog scale (VAS) and the Oswestry disability index (ODI), ASIA grade, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and Cobb angle were used to evaluate the surgical approaches.Results: A total of 102 patients joined this study of three therapeutic groups. The mean hospital stays, the mean operative time, and surgical blood loss of the three groups of patients were
