Key Points

Assess the accuracy of intraoperative c-arm based cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for evaluating implant position in feline vertebral spine surgery.
Used intraoperative c-arm based CBCT for positioning assessment
Analyzed position in relation to thoracolumbar spinal canal
Performed on cadaveric cats
CBCT provided accurate positioning with minimal time for assessment
Identified optimal implant placements consistently
Showed potential for improving surgical outcomes in vertebral procedures

Implication

Demonstrates accurate implant position assessment in cadaveric cats, indicating effective surgical guidance.

Abstract

Intraoperative c-arm based CBCT is an accurate and fast method for the assessment of pin position in relationship to the thoracolumbar spinal canal in cadaveric cats.
