Deep wound infection is a serious surgical complication. The majority of patients with pyogenic spondylodiscitis can be treated non-surgically with antibiotics and immobilization. However, although surgical management of pyogenic spondylodiscitis continues to evolve, no consensus has yet been reached regarding the best surgical approaches and techniques. Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) followed by percutaneous pedicle screw fixation (PPF) is an effective surgical option for treating postoperative pyogenic spondylodiscitis (PPS). In this report, we describe a case of PPS in a 64-year-old man who underwent ALIF with PPF.
