Infective complications following spinal instrumentation, though relatively uncommon, present significant clinical challenges due to their potential to cause serious morbidity. These infections can range from superficial wound infections to deep surgical site infections, including vertebral osteomyelitis and discitis. The risk of infection is influenced by various factors, including the type and duration of surgery, the patient’s health status, and the presence of comorbidities. Early recognition and prompt treatment are crucial to prevent severe outcomes, such as spinal instability, neurological deficits, or systemic sepsis.

摘要

Infective complications following spinal instrumentation, though relatively uncommon, present significant clinical challenges due to their potential to cause serious morbidity. These infections can range from superficial wound infections to deep surgical site infections, including vertebral osteomyelitis and discitis. The risk of infection is influenced by various factors, including the type and duration of surgery, the patient’s health status, and the presence of comorbidities. Early recognition and prompt treatment are crucial to prevent severe outcomes, such as spinal instability, neurological deficits, or systemic sepsis.
