In this report, we present a successfully treated case of intractable thoracic pyogenic spondylitis using one-step curettage/bone grafting of spinal anterior segment and less-contaminated percutaneous spinal posterior fixation via separated posterior approaches, which was not compatible with conventional spinal instruments.

Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a serious infectious disease with high mortality. The aim of our study was to compare the efficacy of percutaneous needle aspiration (PNA) and percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) for PLA and to assess risk factors for unfavorable prognosis. This retrospective study was performed between 2017 to 2019 in a Chinese tertiary care hospital.

Background: Vertebral osteomyelitis (VO) is an infection of the spine with increasing prevalence due to improved diagnostics and aging populations. Multiple pathogens, including , spp., and pyogenic bacteria, can cause VO, making differential diagnosis complex, especially in regions with endemic brucellosis and tuberculosis.

Pyogenic spondylitis is generally managed conservatively; however, surgical intervention may be required depending on the patient's condition. In this report, we present a case of upper thoracic pyogenic spondylitis with a paravertebral abscess that was successfully treated using negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) combined with a cranked rod construct and a minimally invasive posterior-only approach. This report was constructed based on previous medical records and imaging findings.

Background: Pyogenic spondylitis or intervertebral discitis rarely spreads into the thoracic cavity, resulting in pyothorax. Moreover, no study has reported methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) as a cause. Conservative and surgical treatments are reportedly effective for the above-mentioned situations; however, there have been no comprehensive reports owing to the disease's rarity.

Background: The current study aimed to evaluate the bone union rate between infected vertebrae after minimally invasive posterior fixation without bone grafting in thoracolumbar pyogenic spondylitis.
Methods: This retrospective multicenter cohort study evaluated 75 patients of posterior fixation for thoracolumbar pyogenic spondylitis that have been recorded at six relevant institutions from January 2016 to December 2022. Data on age, sex, location of infected vertebrae, number of infected disks, comorbidity, Pola classification, number of vertebrae fixed according to surgery, implant failure requiring revision surgery, and distance according to the type of infected vertebrae after surgery were evaluated.
