Figure 7 Single-stage anterior radical debridement and tantalum mesh cage implantation followed by supplemental posterior pedicle screw instrumentation were performed to treat infectious spondylitis and correct kyphotic deformity.
The antibiotic beads were also deposited for infection control. Postoperative radiograph showed better lordotic alignment after single-stage combined anterior-posterior surgery for complicated infectious spondylitis.
