Study population: Medical and paramedical staff working in facilities providing care for patients hospitalised with spondylodiscitis will be asked to complete a questionnaire assessing their day-to-day practices.

Patients who have been hospitalised for spondylodiscitis in the Infectious Diseases and Rheumatology Departments at Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital during the last 4 years will receive the information note. After a period of one month, if they have not expressed their opposition, they will be contacted by telephone to take part in a semi-structured interview lasting 15 to 20 minutes to find out about their experience of care and their satisfaction.

Brief summary: Our study is a survey of the current management of patients suffering from spondylodiscitis.

Detailed description: Our main objective was to describe the use of rigid corsets to immobilise patients with spondylodiscitis in hospital, by asking doctors about their practices.

The secondary objectives are :

* To describe the use of rigid corsets to immobilise patients suffering from spondylodiscitis in hospital by asking paramedical staff about the way in which medical prescriptions were implemented and patients about their compliance.
* To measure the rate of satisfaction and understanding of patients treated with a corset.
* To detail the different ways in which doctors and paramedical staff manage patients hospitalised for spondylodiscitis, depending on their age, training, speciality and the department in which they work.
