Pathological conditions that cause instability of the spine are commonly treated by vertebral
fixation involving pedicle screw placement surgery. However, existing methods for …

Purpose Image‐guided spine surgery and preoperative computer‐assisted planning provide
spine surgeons with tools to improve the safety, accuracy, and reliability of pedicle screw …

Introduction Recent neurosurgical applications based on artificial intelligence (AI) have
demonstrated its potential in surgical planning and anatomical measurement. We aimed to …

Methods A geometric model was developed relating spinal pedicle anatomy to accuracy
requirements for image-guided surgery. This model was used to derive error tolerances for …

Pedicle screws are typically used for fusion, percutaneous fixation, and means of gripping a
spinal segment. The screws act as a rigid and stable anchor points to bridge and connect …

Pedicle screw insertion is an orthopaedic spinal fixation procedure involving the placement
of screws through individual spine pedicles and secured in spinal vertebrae. Pedicle …

Background [corrected] The aim of this prospective study was (1) to evaluate the accuracy of
pedicle screw placement using Computer-Assisted Orthopedic-Surgery (CAOS) in …

Object Use of computer-assisted spine surgery (CASS) technologies, such as navigation
systems, to improve the accuracy of pedicle screw (PS) placement is increasingly popular …

Due to good fixation and obvious clinical advantages in the treatment of spinal diseases,
pedicle screw technology is widely employed in spinal surgery. However, most screw …

Background The great accuracy of computer‐assisted operative systems for pedicle screw
insertion makes them highly desirable for spinal surgeries. However, computer‐assisted …
