treated with 1 year of therapy with three antituberculous drugs. He presented with progressive low
back pain and neurogenic claudication. (a) Anteroposterior and (b) lateral lumbar spine radiographs
show collapse of L2 and L3 with kyphotic deformit y. (c,d) T1-weighted image sagittal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence demonstrates decreased signal in the bodies of L1 to L4, kyphotic
deform ity, and epidural m ass composed of ne crotic bone, disk, and purulent debris. (e,f) T2 -we igh t e d
sagit tal MRI sequence demonstrates areas of high signal intensity within the L2 and L3 vertebral bodies
and in the anterior paraspinal region.
4. Vancomycin mixed bone graft or pulse lavage.
a. Most recent meta-analyses demonstrate favorable outcomes.
b. Results may depend on the incidence of postoperative spinal infections in
the local population.
(1) Vancomycin mixed bone graft is likely more e cacious if the number
to treat is greater.

1. Elevated ESR and WBC with concomitant fever and wound drainage are
suspicious signs.
D. Diagn osis.
1. MRI with gadolinium enhancement is the best modality to detect an SSI.
2. Vertebral and soft tissue changes must be di erentiated between normal
postoperative changes and vertebral osteomyelitis.
a. Both states are associated with type 1 end plate changes characterized by
adjacent marrow edem a and hypointense signal on T1 imaging.
b. Gadolinium contrast demonstrates areas of enhancement in the disk
space.
c. Infection is associated with circum ferential disk enhancem ent, w hereas
linear areas of enhancem ent are m ore con sistent with norm al changes.
E. Ea r ly ve r s u s la t e .
1. Early infections are typically recognized by systemic complaints.
a. Fevers, chills, local wound erythema, drainage, increased back pain
2. Late infections:
a. More common, particularly in the presence of instrumentation.
(1) Di cult clinical diagnosis that should be considered if signi cant risk

F. Su p e r c i a l v e r s u s d e e p .
1. Di cult to di erentiate by physical examination.
a. Irrigation and debridement should include opening the deep fascial layer
to evaluate for the presence of an occult deep wound infection.
G. Man age m en t .
1. The type of postoperative infection dictates management:
a. Super cial SSIs respond to a course of intravenous antibiotics and/or
bedside drainage.
b. Medical therapy alone is unsuccessful with subfascial infections due to
poor antibiotic penetration.
(1) May warrant m ultiple episodes of extensive debridement of infected
and necrotic tissue.
2. Instrumentation should be retained to maintain the stability of the spinal
colum n; however, loosened im plants should be rem oved, an d the patien t
should be monitored closely for pseudarthrosis.
3. Negative-pressure wound therapy:
a. Vacuum-sealed suction device that encloses the surgical wound.
b. Enhances would healing and closure due to the following mechanisms:
(1) Rem oval of interstitial uid that reduces interstitial uid pressure
and enhances blood perfusion.
(2) Negative pressure causes mechanical stimulation that facilitates cell
grow th, increases blood ow, and reduces bacterial load.

1. Seven to 34% will develop a neurological de cit.
2. Recent evidence has demonstrated that aggressive early medical treatment
with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) can signi cantly
decrease the risk of cervical spine atlantoaxial disorders.
D. At lan toaxial in st abilit y (or su blu xat ion ) (Fig. 25.1):

3. Radiographic ndings.
a. Anterior atlantodens interval (AADI):
(1) Distance between the posterior margin of C1 to the anterior surface
of the odontoid:
(a) The norm al distance is 3 mm in adults and 4.5 mm in children.
(2) AADI is an unreliable predictor of paralysis because of poor
correlation bet w een the AADI an d the degree of cord com pression as
shown by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
(a) AADI ≥ 8 mm has a positive predictive value (PPV) of 61% and a
negative predictive value (NPV) of 56%.
b. The posterior atlantodens interval (PADI) has been demonstrated as a
better predictor of paralysis.
