ABSTRACT
Cerebral palsy patients who undergo posterior spinal instrumentation for scoliosis are at a greater risk of surgical site infection compared to adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Many infecting organisms are reported. Risk factors include patients' specific factors, nutritional status as well as surgery related factors. Although surgical management is still controversial, it is always based on irrigation and debridement followed or not by implant removal. The purpose of this paper is to review the pathophysiology of surgical site infection in this patient population and to propose a treatment algorithm, based on a thorough review of the current literature and personal experience.
