Pyogenic spondylodiscitis : The quest towards a clinical-radiological classification.

CONCLUSION: The current classification schemes overlap and encompass the most clinically relevant factors; however, some could be too complex for interdisciplinary clinical practice and do not adequately address unique entities, such as PS of the cervical spine, anterolisthesis and retrolisthesis. Most importantly, some criteria must be utilized in concert with recently published guidelines and should be re-assessed for validity and reliability. A uniform orthopedic parlance is required to optimize the management of this debilitating and life-threatening condition. PMID: 31720703 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
