BACKGROUND: @entity1 with @entity306 ( @entity306 ) and @entity508 are often managed with intrathecal @entity1772 treatment (ITB). Complications of ITB include @entity281 at the pump or catheter site and late complications as well as revisions of the pump and catheter because of events such as battery expiration or implant malfunction. The goal of this study is to report the short-term and long-term incidence, risk factors, and treatment outcomes of @entity281 in @entity1 . METHODS: This was a retrospective review of 294 @entity1 with @entity306 . The number of ITB surgeries per @entity1 , risk of @entity281 for primary and secondary ITB-related procedures, microorganisms responsible, and associated factors, such as concurrent orthopaedic interventions, medical comorbidities, and subsequent management of ITB-related @entity281 , were evaluated. RESULTS: Infection occurred in 28/294 @entity1 (9.5%) with a 4.9% rate per procedure. There were 14 acute (within 90 d of surgery) and 14 late @entity281 . The @entity281 risk per ITB procedure was 2.4%. Risk of late @entity281 over 5-year mean follow-up was 0.95% per year. Pump removal with acute contralateral implantation was the most successful treatment of @entity281 . Gross Motor Function Classification System level V and G-tube were the main risk factors for @entity281 . A total of 133 concurrent orthopaedic procedures were performed during 277 ITB procedures with no increased risk of @entity281 . CONCLUSIONS: ITB in @entity1 with @entity306 has a relatively low and manageable risk of @entity281 . It is important to always consider @entity281 as a complication with ITB because with prompt treatment the positive impact of ITB is still possible. It is safe to perform concurrent orthopaedic procedures with ITB procedures. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE: Level III-therapeutic study.
