Navigated pedicle screw insertion has lower risk of perforation than freehand insertion
This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Pedicle screw navigation: A systematic review and meta-analysis of perforation risk for computer-navigated versus freehand insertion
J Neurosurg Spine. 2012 Aug;17(2):113-22. Epub 2012 Jun 22This meta-analysis identified 18 cohort studies and 2 randomized controlled trials, comparing computer-navigated and non-navigated pedicle screw placements. 8359 screws in total were identified in the 20 studies, in which 4814 were navigated and 3725 were non-navigated. Results from the analysis indicated that insertions with neuronavigation were associated with a significantly lower risk of pedicle screw perforation than non-navigated insertions. No significant difference was seen between the two techniques for mean operation time, estimated blood loss, and complication rate.
