Summary: | Introduction
There are several assisted methods for the accurate placement of pedicle screw (PS), including fluoroscopy, a three-dimensional (3D) printed model, a local electrical conductivity measurement device (LECMD), and intraoperative computed tomography (CT) navigation.
Objectives
This study aimed to investigate the accuracy of PS placement and clinical results using different assisted methods.
Methods
This study included 553 pedicle screws in 31 patients. We divided patients into the fluoroscopy (F) group (
n
= 79), 3D printed model and fluoroscopy (3D + F) group (
n
= 150), LECMD, 3D printed model, and fluoroscopy (LECMD + 3D + F) group (
n
= 171), and the intraoperative CT navigation (
N
) group (
n
= 153). We evaluated the operative time, intraoperative bleeding, number of fusion vertebrae, correction rate of the main curve, apical vertebral translation, grade of PS perforation (Grade 0: no perforation; Grade 1: 4 mm), and accuracy of PS placement.
Results
The
N
group had a significantly longer operative time. There were no significant differences in the clinical results excluding the operative time. The accuracy of PS placement was 93.7%, 91.3%, 93.6%, and 93.5% in the F, 3D + F, LECMD + 3D + F, and
N
groups, respectively. The Grade 2 perforation rate was 2.5%, 0%, 0.6%, and 0.7% in the F, 3D + F, LECMD + 3D + F, and
N
groups, respectively.
Conclusions
There were no significant differences in the accuracy of PS placement and clinical results excluding the operative time. The 3D printed model, LECMD, or intraoperative CT navigation would be useful to prevent Grade 2 perforation. |
