New Classification for the Treatment of Pyogenic Spondylodiscitis: Validation Study on a Population of 250 Patients with a Follow-Up of 2 Years

Pyogenic spondylodiscitis (PS) is still burdened by a high rate of orthopedic and neurological complications. Despite the rising incidence, the choice of a proper orthopedic treatment is often delayed by the lack of clinical data. The aim of this study was to propose a clinical-radiological classification of pyogenic spondylodiscitis to define a standard treatment algorithm.
