Influence of instrumentation type on outcomes after surgical management of spondylodiscitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

ConclusionsThis meta-analysis demonstrates that the choice of instrumentation type in the surgical management of spondylodiscitis resulted in no significant differences in rate of radiographic fusion, screw loosening, or reoperation. Future comparative studies to optimize guidelines for the management of spondylodiscitis are needed.
