Antibiotics in the management of postoperative disc space infections.

Abstract

The place of antibiotics in the management of postoperative disc space infections is examined on the basis of a review of 14 cases. Whereas the role of antibiotics is clear in acute infections which manifest themselves in the early postoperative period, this is not so for cases which present late with a chronic process. Here, immobilization in a double hip spica is the single therapeutic measure recommended.
