Abstract:Purpose: There are limited data on the natural kinematics of the lumbar pedicle in vivo. This study investigated the range of motion of the lumbar pedicle screw insertion point when normal subjects moved under physiological loads.
Methods: Ten healthy volunteers aged 25 to 39 years were recruited. A combination of a dual fluoroscopic imaging system (DFIS) and CT technology was used. With computer assistance, a three-dimensional reconstructed model of each segment of the lumbar spine was created by using the su… Show more
