Axial pullout strength comparison of different screw designs: fenestrated screw, dual outer diameter screw and standard pedicle screw
BACKGROUND The pullout strength of pedicle screws is influenced by many factors, including diameter of the screws, implant design, and augmentation with bone cement such as PMMA. In the present study, the pullout strength of an innovative fenestrated screw augmented with PMMA was investigated and was compared to unaugmented fenestrated, standard and dual outer diameter screw. METHODS Twenty f...
متن کاملPedicle screw placement in patients with variant atlas pedicle
OBJECTIVE To investigate how the anatomy of variant atlas vertebra impacts on the strategy used to place pedicle screws used to treat atlantoaxial instability. METHODS The study enrolled patients with cervical instability who had a posterior arch pedicle height <3.5 mm at the anchor point, a vertebral artery groove height <3.5 mm, or both. Pedicle screws were fitted according to the anatomy o...
متن کاملGuided pedicle screw insertion: techniques and training.
BACKGROUND CONTEXT In spinal fusion surgery, the accuracy with which screws are inserted in the pedicle has a direct effect on the surgical outcome. Accurate placement generally involves considerable judgmental skills that have been developed through a lengthy training process. Because the impact of misaligning one or more pedicle screws can directly affect patient safety, a number of navigatio...
متن کاملPedicle screw malposition following spinal lumbar injury
Pedicle screws are the main type of instrumentation used in the lumbar spine via the posterior approach. The accuracy of their insertion is always a concern because the malposition of screws is associated with a potential risk of iatrogenic injury of any neurovascular structure they pass. Fortunately, spinal cord and cauda equina injuries are rare. This 18-year-old paraplegic woman presented mo...
متن کاملPedicle screw fixation in the spine.
In August 1993, in the USA, an FDA advisory committee of experts reviewed the scientific data on pedicle screws and decided that not enough was known about the shortterm problems or the long-term safety and effectiveness of these devices to allow their use to be approved. Manufacturers were therefore forbidden to promote the use of screws in the spine, and patients were warned that pedicle scre...
