Long-Term Clinical and Radiologic Outcome Following Surgical Treatment of Lumbar Spondylodiscitis: A Retrospective Bicenter Study.

Background And Study Aims:  Spinal instrumentation for spondylodiskitis (SD) remains highly controversial. To date, surgical data are limited to relatively small case series with short-term follow-up data. In this study, we wanted to elucidate the biomechanical, surgical, and neurologic long-term outcomes in these patients.
