Health Care Associated Hematogenous Pyogenic Vertebral Osteomyelitis
Although hematogenous pyogenic spinal infections have been related to hemodialysis (HD), catheter-related sepsis, and sporadically, to other nosocomial infections or procedures, in most recent studies and reviews the impact of nosocomial infection as a risk factor for vertebral osteomyelitis (VO) is not well established. The aim of our study was to describe the risk factors, infectious source, ...
متن کاملPyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis caused by Prevotella intermedia.
We describe a case of vertebral osteomyelitis caused by Prevotella intermedia, which is an extremely unusual cause of vertebral osteomyelitis. The organism was isolated from vertebral biopsies and the patient was treated successfully with intravenous ampicillin-sulbactam and clindamycin. Diagnosis and management of this condition are described, and the importance of anaerobic bacteria in the pa...
متن کاملPyogenic Vertebral Osteomyelitis of the Posterior Elements

We present two cases of isolated lumbar vertebral infection of the posterior elements and review 13 cases previously reported in the literature. Clinical presentation, laboratory and radiographic findings, microbiological etiology, and treatment were evaluated. Back pain, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation ...
متن کاملAnterior versus posterior fixation for the treatment of lumbar pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis.
This study was designed to observe the clinical outcome of anterior versus posterior instrumentation in the treatment of Pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis of the lumbar spine. Twenty-three patients underwent either anterior (anterior fixation group) or posterior fixation (posterior fixation group) combined with a single-stage anterior radical debridement and had an average follow-up of 38 months...
متن کاملEmpty polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages in anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) show slow radiographic fusion that reduces clinical improvement: results from the prospective multicenter “PIERCE-PEEK” study
BACKGROUND Anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a well-established surgical treatment for radiculopathy and myelopathy. Previous studies showed that empty PEEK cages have lower radiographic fusion rates, but the clinical relevance remains unclear. This paper's aim is to provide high-quality evidence on the outcomes of ACDF with empty PEEK cages and on the relevance of radiographic ...
