Computer assisted surgery reduces significantly the misplacement rate of pedicle screws and remains for experienced spine surgeons an important support in the operative treatment of complex spinal deformities in future. Additionally it can be expected that Computer-Navigation will also spread out in the field of minimal-invasive spinal surgery, e.g. the kyphoplasty. The use of this technique supports beside the medical-technical knowledge an improved three-dimensional orientation in the education of spine surgeons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
