Core Tip	Complicated infectious spondylitis is a rare infection with vertebral pathological fracture and severe spinal destruction that require anterior reconstruction. The use of metallic implants for vertebral body stabilization and reconstruction following debridement at the lesion of infection remains controversial. In the present study a series of 20 patients with complicated infectious spondylitis were treated with single-stage anterior debridement and reconstruction using tantalum mesh cage (TaMC) followed by immediate instrumentation. The results demonstrated that good functional outcome and low complication rate could be achieved by a single-stage anterior debridement and reconstruction with TaMC.
