Elmi-Terander A, et al. - In a clinical trial, researchers assessed the accuracy of pedicle screw placement using augmented reality surgical navigation (ARSN). This prospective observational study was conducted in a hybrid operating room with an integrated ARSN system encompassing a surgical table, a motorized flat detector C-arm with intraoperative 2D/3D capabilities, integrated optical cameras for augmented reality navigation, and noninvasive patient motion tracking. Findings suggested that ARSN could be clinically used to place thoracic and lumbosacral pedicle screws with high accuracy (94.1%) and with acceptable navigation time. The risk of revision surgery and complications could, therefore, be minimized.
