Risk Factors for Clinically Relevant Loosening of Percutaneous Pedicle Screws
Introduction: (1) To evaluate the influence of pedicle screw loosening on clinical outcomes; (2) to clarify the association between the pull-out length and screw loosening 1 year after surgery; and (3) to determine radiographically which screw parameters

Correlation analysis of BMD in different regions of the vertebrae determined by QCT and DXA on pedicle screw loosening [PDF]
Low bone mineral density (BMD) impairs the stability of the bone-screw interface, which leads to screw loosening after spinal instrumentation. Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) were applied to measure BMD ...

Novel MRI-Based Pedicle Bone Quality Score Independently Predicts Pedicle Screw Loosening After Degenerative Lumbar Fusion Surgery [PDF]
Summary Pedicle screw loosening after posterior lumbar fusion is associated with poor bone quality, which often determines screw pull‐out strength, insertion torque, and vertebral body loading characteristics.

Distinct regional bone quality patterns in L5–S1 isthmic and degenerative spondylolisthesis: implications for pedicle screw loosening risk [PDF]
Background Screw loosening remains a major concern after pedicle screw fixation for lumbar spondylolisthesis. Although dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is widely used to assess systemic bone status, it may not fully capture regional bone quality at
