Efficacy and safety with the use of Antibiotic-impregnated Poly-methyl methacrylate (AI-PMMA) for thoracolumbar spinal reconstruction in pyogenic Spondylodiscitis: Retrospective cohort study

Efficacy and safety with the use of Antibiotic-impregnated Poly-methyl methacrylate (AI-PMMA) for thoracolumbar spinal reconstruction in pyogenic Spondylodiscitis: Retrospective cohort study

Background: Surgical treatment of spinal osteomyelitis and discitis remains challenging due to the risk of implant colonization. We sought to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of using antibiotic-impregnated poly-methyl methacrylate (AI-PMMA) in spinal reconstruction for pyogenic spondylodiscitis....
