Avoid the Possibility of Remove of Osteosynthesis Device Secondary to Infection of the Lumbar Region

Abstract

Infections after spinal surgery are one of the battles and a cause for concern for any spinal surgeon. For its prevention, it is necessary to control the previous situation of the patients, strict prophylaxis protocols in the operating room and mechanisms for early detection of infection. Acting at these three levels will allow us to reduce the rate of post-surgical spine infections and avoid new interventions and more suffering for our patients. We present the use of a product that tries to avoid the need to remove the implant in the event of a wound infection.
