Abstract
This study evaluates two basic hypotheses: (1) the risk of an isolated dorsal approach to ventral lumbar spondylodiscitis based on clinical and radiographic results and (2) the risk of anterior radical debridement due to using a titanium implant in the site of bone infection. The results demonstrate the minimum serious surgical complications and greater loss of sagittal balance without clinical correlation in group A.
We did not find any relapse or persistence of the infection in the post-operative period in group B.
