Retrospective study evaluates surgical outcomes of a 3D-planned guide device in open lumbar spinal surgery, highlighting potential improvements over free-hand screw placement.
Objective Pedicle screw stabilization (PSS) surgeries for spinal instability are still the most effective treatment approach. The use of preoperative planning can minimize the complications related to transpedicular screw (TPS) misplacement. The study aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes of a guide device developed to improve the accuracy of the free-hand technique using three-dimensional planning in PSS.
