Pedicle screw placement is a standard but technically demanding operation. Improper screw placement can cause nerve damage and postoperative complications. Usually, the computed tomography (CT) image ...

The pedicle is reached taking care not to violate the medial cortical layer. A Schanz screw then replaces the drillbit. When all 4 pedicles are instrumented, the external fixator and plates are ...

Zhao, T., Huang, C.K. and Su, G.S. (2024) The Application Effect of Robot Assisted Percutaneous Pedicle Screw Placement and Conventional Open Pedicle Screw Placement in Lumbar Spine Fractures.

Hoping to shake things up in the pedicle screw placement arena, a team from Weill Cornell Medicine—Department of Neurosurgery, NewYork-Presbyterian Och Spine Hospital has revisited previous work ...

Where do spine robots shine, falter in lumbar pedicle screw placement? Facet joint violation by pedicle screws under robotic guidance was reduced at some parts of the lumbar spine compared to CT ...

Dr. Lebl and colleagues set out to compare the accuracy of BPR versus 3D imaging when assessing intraoperative pedicle screw placement. “Our study is the first to compare the differences in ...

A study at Hospital for Special Surgery found that intraoperative three-dimensional (3D) imaging was superior to two-dimensional radiographs in confirming the accuracy of pedicle screw placement ...

A study at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) found that intraoperative three-dimensional (3D) imaging was superior to two-dimensional radiographs in confirming the accuracy of pedicle screw placement ...

A total of 606 pedicle screws were placed, 590 in the lumbar spine and 16 in the thoracic spine. The researchers analyzed patient demographics, surgical metrics including total posterior construct ...
