Evan d.Nigh, ryan a.Finkel, arash j.Sayari, todd h.Lanman, eli m.Baron, and jason m cuellar."an atypical presentation of early periprosthetic infection after cervical disc arthroplasty".Jbjs case connector.2023;13:e22.00679.Doi: 10.2106/jbjs.Cc.22.00679.Summary: most complications from cervical disc arthroplasty (cda) can be attributed to the anterior approach or patient selection/surgical technique errors1-3.Deep infection after cda is rare and usually stems from missed esophageal injury.This report of implant-related infection after cda is the sixth in the literature, and there is limited understanding of its presentation, diagnosis, and treatment.A case of cda failure due to infection with an atypical pathogen in a patient with klippel-feil syndrome (kfs), along with a review of the literature.Reported event: a 22-year-old woman with klippel-feil syndrome who underwent cervical disc arthroplasty (cda) presented 3 months postoperatively with worsening neck pain and radiculopathy.Work-up was negative for infection, but singlephoton emission computed tomography revealed increased metabolic activity in the vertebral body below the implant.Duringrevision, the implant was grossly loose and multiple cultures grew cutibacterium acnes.She was treated with an antibiotic course and conversion to anterior fusion without recurrence.See attached literature article.
