Abstract
Current surgical techniques for patients with pyogenic spondylitis (PS) and tuberculous spondylitis (TS) are as follows: anterior debridement/decompression and fusion with bone autografts (A); anterior debridement/decompression and fusion, followed by simultaneous or sequential posterior fusion with instrumentation (AP); posterior fusion with instrumentation, followed by simultaneous or sequential anterior debridement/decompression and fusion (PA); and posterior decompression and fusion with bone autografts (P). In the present study the authors compared, between disease types and between surgical techniques, the clinical and radiological outcomes of surgery for these patients. Fifty-two patients were involved in the study, comprising 25 with PS and 27 with TS, with a mean age of 63.3 +/- 13.3 years. The affected sites included cervical vertebrae in 6 patients, thoracic in 16, thoracolumbar in 14, and lumbar in 16. Surgical techniques A, AP, and PA were each performed in 15 patients (designated Groups A, AP, and PA), and technique P was performed in 7 patients (designated Group P). Clinical and radiological outcomes were evaluated between disease types and surgical techniques. Advancement on the Frankel scale between preoperativ...Continue Reading
