Synopsis
Fifty-six patients with lumbar stenosis scheduled for a lumbar fusion surgery were randomized to receive Kirschner wire placement performed with an automatic robotic system (n=27) or freehand (n=29). Outcomes of interest included deviation distance of the pedicle screw tip and point, deviation angle on the sagittal and coronal planes (via fluoroscopy and CT scan), surgical data (operative time, bl...
