Twenty cases of pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis treated by anterior debridement and fusion from January 1989 to January 1999 were analyzed. Thirteen were males, seven females. Age ranged from 16 to 76 years (median, 52 years). The most common location was L4–L5 level (12 patients). The mean duration of symptoms was 3.5 months (range, 3 days to 12 months). Gram-positive cocci infection was the most frequent causative organism. Fever was found in only two patients (10%). Misdiagnoses frequently occurred, especially at L4–L5 involvement (9 patients). Anterior debridement and fusion using iliac crest graft was chosen when the patient was neurologically compromised or had spinal instability or doubtful diagnosis. The result was rated as good in 75 percent. Solid fusion occurred in 18 cases within one year. Complications occurred in five cases, most of them related to the surgical approach.
