Spinal navigation for minimally invasive thoracic and lumbosacral spine fixation: Implications for radiation exposure, operative time, and accuracy of pedicle screw placement
European Spine Journal Apr 20, 2018
Tajsic T, et al. - Authors compared C-Arm navigated, O-Arm navigated and conventional 2D-fluoroscopy assisted MIS thoracic and lumbosacral spine fixation techniques in terms of operating time, radiation exposure and accuracy of pedicle screw (PS) placement. They conducted retrospective observational study of 152 consecutive adults who underwent MIS fixations for spinal instability: 96 2D-fluoroscopy assisted, 39 3D-C-Arm navigated and 27 using O-Arm navigated. Along with comparable operative times, O-Arm navigation provided greater accuracy of percutaneous instrumentation placement with an acceptable procedural radiation dose delivered to the patients.
