Assessing the Intraoperative Accuracy of Pedicle Screw Placement by Using a Bone-Mounted Miniature Robot System through Secondary Registration. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Pedicle screws are commonly employed to restore spinal stability and correct deformities. The Renaissance robotic system was developed to improve the accuracy of pedicle screw placement.In this study, we developed an intraoperative classification system ...

The Impact of Aging on the Anatomical Course of the Azygos Vein: A Retrospective, Computed Tomography Study

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The azygos vein (AV) is typically described as ascending vertically to the right of the vertebral column before arching anteriorly to drain into the superior vena cava. However, a small number of studies suggest that it is found leftward in older adults.

Single‐Side Iatrogenic Pedicle Injury May Trigger an Increased Risk of Contralateral Screw Loosening: An In Silico Study

JOR Spine
Background Screw loosening is a frequently reported complication following pedicle screw fixation, resulting in various adverse outcomes. The primary trigger for screw loosening is biomechanical deterioration.

A simplified extrapedicular workflow for cement-augmented cannulated pedicle screw fixation in osteoporotic vertebral collapse: a technical note

Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery
Pedicle screw fixation in osteoporotic vertebrae remains challenging because of poor bone quality and limited screw purchase. Cement-augmented cannulated pedicle screws are widely used to improve fixation strength; however, the optimal workflow for screw

A novel system for accurate lumbar spine pedicle screw placement based on three-dimensional computed tomography reconstruction

Journal of Orthopaedic Translation, 2020
Objectives: The accuracy of pedicle screw placement strongly affects the outcome of spinal surgery and has mainly relied on the surgeons’ experience. There is no simple, low-cost, and effective pedicle screw placement system to assist new spinal surgeons

Safety of Pedicle Screws in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Surgery [PDF]

Asian Spine Journal, 2017
To review existing publications on the safety of pedicle screw insertions in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Despite having increased risk for neurological and visceral injuries, the use of pedicle screws have led to increased correction rates in ...

Early Postoperative Adverse Events (≤ 30 Days) in Spinal Oncology: Defining the Incidence, Severity, and Predictors in a Mixed Prospective Cohort Including Intradural and Metastatic Spinal Tumors

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Complication reporting in spinal tumor surgery remains inconsistently defined. We aimed to quantify the incidence, severity, and spectrum of early (≤ 30 days) postoperative adverse events (AEs) in spinal tumor surgery and to identify predictors of overall and serious complications using standardized severity grading.

Effect of Insertional Direction of Pedicle Screw on Screw Loosening: A Biomechanical Study on Synthetic Bone Vertebra under a Physiology‐like Load

Orthopaedic Surgery
Objectives It is now understood that pedicle screw loosening at the implant‐bone interface can lead to poor screw–bone interface purchase and decreased fixation stability. Previous biomechanical tests used cadaveric vertebrae and pull‐out or torque loads

Biologic gracilis augmentation with iliotibial band enhances recovery and lowers complications in ACL reconstruction compared with hamstring plus lateral tenodesis

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare the iliotibial band autograft biologically augmented with gracilis (ITBAG) technique with a hamstring tendon autograft combined with extra‐articular lateral tenodesis using fascia lata (HT‐LET), in terms of (1) return‐to‐sport rates, (2) patient‐reported functional outcomes and (3) complication rates.
