Article Synopsis
- The study is a Level 4 retrospective case series examining surgical site infections (SSI) in children post-instrumented spinal fusion.
- It included 29 patients, primarily with nonidiopathic scoliosis, and found a 96.6% cure rate, with only one case of reinfection.
- The researchers recommend using irrigation and debridement (I&D) procedures while keeping implants in place to effectively manage acute SSIs.
