[Diagnosis and surgical treatment of radiculomedullary disorders in hematogenic osteomyelitis of the spine]. 1988

S A Tikhodeev

Radiculomedullary disorders were detected in 42 of 112 patients with hematogenic osteomyelitis of the spine. Cerebrospinal dynamic tests, pneumomyelotomography, and venospondylography were used for establishing the diagnosis of spinal cord compression. Reconstructive surgery of the spine included interventions on the vertebral bodies, vertebral canal, and meninges of the spinal cord. With the use of the elaborated methods satisfactory results of treatment were produced in 38 patients with hematogenic osteomyelitis of the spine and radiculomedullary disorders.
