Efficacy of Antibiotic Bone Cement in the Treatment of Burkholderia cepacia Infection After Spinal Internal Fixation Surgery: Case Report and Literature Review.

Background: In recent years, the number of spinal internal fixation operations has increased significantly, correlating with an elevated risk of postoperative surgical site infection and a rising incidence rate. While the conventional treatment approach involves surgical debridement combined with antibiotic administration, there is a notable gap in reported strategies for Burkholderia cepacia infection and patients exhibiting multidrug resistance.

Methods: Surgical site infection occurred in a patient following internal fixation surgery for thoracic vertebral fractures.
