This review aims to assess and compare the radiation exposure associated with different image-guided techniques during lumbar fusion surgery with pedicle screw insertion.
Systematic review conducted using Cochrane, Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science databases.
Eligible studies focused on lumbar/sacral spine, pedicle screws, and various radiation metrics.
Techniques assessed included conventional C-arm, C-arm navigation, C-arm robotic, O-arm navigation, and O-arm robotic.
Conventional C-arm resulted in higher effective dose for surgeons compared to C-arm navigation/robotic and O-arm navigation/robotic.
Overall risk of bias identified as serious in non-randomized controlled trials (NRCTs) with low evidence levels.
A total of 38 studies were included in the analysis, highlighting a wide range of radiation doses.
