Conservative and surgical treatments for spondylodiscitis, including cervical spine cases, yield similar satisfactory outcomes when indications are properly established.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Neurosurgery

Context:

  • Spondylodiscitis, an infection of the spine, can affect various regions, including the cervical spine.
  • Treatment strategies vary based on disease severity and neurological involvement.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of conservative versus surgical treatment for spondylodiscitis.
  • To compare outcomes in patients with and without neurological compromise.

Summary:

  • Eighty patients with spondylodiscitis were analyzed, with nine cases involving the cervical spine.
  • Conservative treatment (Minerva jacket, antibiotics) was used in seven cases; surgical treatment was reserved for severe, progressive, or neurologically compromised cases (two patients).
  • Both treatment groups demonstrated similar good and satisfactory results.
