Abstract
Spondylodiscitis and postoperative wound infections are the most frequent infectious diseases of the thoracic and lumbar spine. Every spinal surgeon will come into contact with such patients during his or her career. Knowledge particularly of the diagnostics, conservative and surgical treatment as well as microbiological considerations of antibiotic treatment are therefore of particular importance and are explained in this article.
期刊介绍:
Der Unfallchirurg is an internationally recognised publication organ. The journal deals with all aspects of accident surgery and reconstruction surgery and serves the continuing medical education of surgeons and accident surgeons with own practices and those working in hospitals.
Practically-oriented works provide an overview on selected topics and offer the reader a summary of current findings from all fields of accident surgery. Besides the imparting of relevant background knowledge, the focus is on the assessment of scientific findings under consideration of practical experience. The reader is given concrete recommendations for his/her practical work.
