“…At review, 48 papers were excluded as they did not meet the inclusion criteria (Table 1). Thus, 23 publications [5,6,8,9,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] were analysed in this paper (Table 2; 2 randomised controlled trials, 12 case-control studies and 9 case series). Three studies were in German language and remaining 20 studies were in English.…”

“…The reported pedicle screw misplacement in historical spinal literature can be as high as [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39].8% [1][2][3], but only a small number leads to complications (neurological, vascular or visceral injuries). But these complications can be potentially life and limb threatening.…”

Functional outcome of computer-assisted spinal pedicle screw placement: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 23 studies including 5,992 pedicle screws

A number of studies have shown increased accuracy of pedicle screw placement in spine with the help of computer-assisted navigation. The literature is lacking in regard to functional benefit derived from this technique. The aim of this systematic review was to look at the functional outcomes following computer-assisted pedicle screw placement in spine. A 'Dialog Datastar' search was used using optimized search strategy covering the period from 1950 to July 2009; 23 papers were finally included which met our inclusion criteria. We report on a total of 1,288 patients with 5,992 pedicle screws. The comparison of neurological complications in two groups demonstrated an odds ratio of 0.25 (95% CI 0.06, 1.14) in favour of using navigation for pedicle screw insertion (p = 0.07). Comparative trials demonstrated a significant advantage in terms of accuracy of navigation over conventional pedicle screw insertion with a relative risk of 1.12 (95% CI 1.09, 1.15) (p \ 0.00001). Navigation does not show statistically significant benefit in reducing neurological complications and there was insufficient data in the literature to infer a conclusion in terms of fusion rate, pain relief and health outcome scores.

“…Currently, navigation systems often use CT data to navigate pedicle screw applications [1,11,17], cup placements for hip arthroplasties [16], TKAs [8,19], and cruciate ligament reconstructions [9,23]. Excising bone tumors is sometimes difficult even for an experienced surgeon because the extent and anatomic location of the tumors are variable and cannot be detected by ordinary radiography or fluoroscopy [15,30].…”

“…Laine et al [15] presented evidence for improvement of accuracy under clinical conditions using this technique. In 1996, we started the laboratory testing the clinical application of computer-assisted spine surgery [11,12]. To improve the accuracy of screw placement, we have adopted an image-guidance system and herein report the usefulness and the limitations of this technique, in the area of surgical reconstruction of RA cervical spine lesions.…”

Computer-assisted screw insertion for cervical disorders in rheumatoid arthritis

To reconstruct highly destructed unstable rheumatoid arthritis (RA) cervical lesions, the authors have been using C1/2 transarticular and cervical pedicle screw fixations. Pedicle screw fixation and C1/2 transarticular screw fixation are biomechanically superior to other fixation techniques for RA patients. However, due to severe spinal deformity and small anatomical size of the vertebra, including the lateral mass and pedicle, in the most RA cervical lesions, these screw fixation procedures are technically demanding and pose the potential risk of neurovascular injuries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and safety of cervical pedicle screw insertion to the deformed, fragile, and small RA spine lesions using computer-assisted image-guidance systems. A frameless, stereotactic image-guidance system that is CT-based, and optoelectronic was used for correct screw placement. A total of 21 patients (16 females, 5 males) with cervical disorders due to RA were surgically treated using the image-guidance system. Postoperative computerized tomography and plane X-ray was used to determine the accuracy of the screw placement. Neural and vascular complications associated with screw insertion and postoperative neural recovery were evaluated. Postoperative radiological evaluations revealed that only 1 (2.1%; C4) of 48 screws inserted into the cervical pedicle had perforated the vertebral artery canal more than 25% (critical breach). However, no neurovascular complications were observed. According to Ranawat's classification, 9 patients remained the same, and 12 patients showed improvement. Instrumentation failure, loss of reduction, or nonunion was not observed at the final followup (average 49.5 months; range 24-96 months). In this study, the authors demonstrated that image-guidance systems could be applied safely to the cervical lesions caused by RA. Image-guidance systems are useful tools in preoperative planning and in transarticular or transpedicular screw placement in the cervical spine of RA patients.
