Secondary changes in sagittal alignment after instrumented surgery with and without corpectomy for pyogenic spondylodiscitis.

In our study the operative time was numerically longer in the 360° cohort compared with posterior instrumentation alone; however, this difference did not reach statistical significance, likely due to the limited sample size of the 360° subgroup.

In the lumbar subgroup, univariate regression analysis showed that corpectomy was associated with greater improvement or less deterioration in the Cobb angle at follow-up compared to preoperative values (β = 6.01, p = 0.050), while obesity (β = −4.55, p = 0.097) and the Charlson Comorbidity Index (β = −1.25, p = 0.090) showed a trend toward worse outcomes.
