Objective: The accuracy of percutaneous pedicle screw placement has increased with the advent of robotic and surgical navigation technologies. However, the effect of robotic intraoperative screw size and trajectory templating…
Objective: Pedicle screw insertion for stabilization after lumbar fusion surgery is commonly performed by spine surgeons. With the advent of navigation technology, the accuracy of pedicle screw insertion has increased.…
Objective: The use of robotics in spinal surgery has gained popularity because of its promising accuracy and safety. ROSA is a commonly used surgical robot system for spinal surgery. The…
Introduction: The regional variation in spine surgery rates has been shown to be large both within and between countries. This variation has been reported to be less in studies from…
Objective: The thoracolumbar (TL) junction spanning T11 to L2 is difficult to access because of the convergence of multiple anatomical structures and tissue planes. Earlier studies have described different approaches…
Previous reports indicated that a decrease in intra-operative cardiac output and mean arterial pressure occurs due to thoracic cage deformities when patients with scoliosis are placed in the prone position.…
Objective: The aim of this study was to verify the practicability of the cortical bone trajectory (CBT) method by comparing the clinical outcomes including the complications between the CBT method…
Background: Measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) is the most important method to diagnose osteoporosis. However, current BMD measurement is always performed after a fracture has occurred. Purpose: To explore…
