Surgical treatment of pyogenic and tubercular (TB) continues to evolve, thanks to minimally invasive techniques. Standard indications to surgery are one or a combination of the following pathological settings: severe bone loss, progressively enlarging abscess, failure of conservative treatment, severe instability and/or deformity, or progressive neurologic deficit. A mainstay of orthopedic science has always been to avoid metallic implant positioning in an infected area.
