HI
Thank for asking to HCM
You have taken early decision for surgery, the spine surgery takes more time to heal the lesion, look the clinical improvements is the important sing and not the MRI even after the complete eradication of infection MRI could show some kind of changes or may exhibit as if disease is still there, you have given importance to MRI study and not to your clinical improvement, now take care, if you are doing well then why to go for invasive procedures, this will come around be patience, take care and have fast recovery.
