Surgical treatment of Pott’s disease is a difficult problem. Techniques of radically corrective surgery with rib autograft developed for this pathology are not always radical enough, while the bone grafting has a number of blind sides. The paper presents a clinical case of combined fusion with shape memory clamps and anterior support porous NiTi implant after a failed fusion with rib autograft for Pott’s disease.
