The authors report the case of a patient who had a D9-D10 staphylococcic spondylodiscitis three month after a fracture of the first lumbar vertebra, which they consider to be posttraumatic despite the fact that it is localised in a different area. They insist on the insufficiency of the literature existing on such cases and on the various pathogenic hypotheses to be applied by the practitionner.
