Abstract

to evaluate the outcome of posterior spinal stabilization surgery for the management of bacterial spinal infection.21 patients with bacterial infection were managed surgically with posterior stabilization. Outcome measures included neurological status. Follow-up data collected using Spine Tango COMI questionnaires and Euro Qol EQ-5D.The mean improvement in neurological deficits was 0.91 Frankel grade. Residual symptoms of pain had no or minor effect on the work or usual activities in 52% of subjects, with 88% reported having either no or mid problems with mobility.Posterior surgery can improve neurological outcome in approximately half of the patients.
