A modified minimally invasive surgery for thoracic pyogenic spondylitis: Percutaneous pedicle screw fixation in combination with a vertebral debridement in a separate posterolateral approach—A case report

Abstract In this report, we present a successfully treated case of intractable thoracic pyogenic spondylitis using one‐step curettage/bone grafting of spinal anterior segment and less‐contaminated percutaneous spinal posterior fixation via separated posterior approaches, which was not compatible with conventional spinal instruments.
