✓ The anterior approach is commonly used to reach the upper thoracic region to achieve decompression and stabilization; however, upper thoracic lesions are difficult to treat because of the regional anatomical structures, and this approach is associated with risks of complication. The authors evaluated the advantages of using a transsternoclavicular approach to aid in treating upper thoracic lesions. The procedure and surgery-related outcomes are discussed.

The goal of this study is to assess the efficacy of one-stage surgical management for infectious spondylodiscitis by circumferential decompression with posterior instrumentation and fusion by lateral extracavitary approach. Between March 2010 and June 2012, 7 cases with bacterial spondylodiscitis were treated with one-stage circumferential decompression with posterior instrumentation and fusion. All cases were followed-up for an average of 11.3 months (range 6-18 months). The average preoperative kyphosis was 13° (range 9-29°), and the average postoperative kyphosis was 8° (range 3-18°). At final follow-up, minimal progression of kyphosis was seen, with an average kyphosis of 12° (range 4-22°). An average loss of correction of 4° was seen at final follow-up. One-stage surgical management for spondylodiscitis by circumferential decompression with posterior instrumentation and fusion was feasible and effective.
