Thoracic pedicle screw placement: free-hand technique.
Thoracic pedicle screws provide a number of advantages over other methods of spinal fixation in treating a variety of conditions including: better pull-out strength and greater control in the sagittal, coronal and rotational planes due to increased stability to axial, bending and rotational forces by three-column fixation, fewer vertebral motion segments arthrodesed, no or lessened need for pos...
متن کاملCadaveric study for ideal dorsal pedicle screw entry point
OBJECTIVE To determine the entry for the dorsal pedicular screw in relation to the notch present at the junction of base of the lateral margin of superior articular process with superior border of transverse process in dorsal spine. The advantage of this technique is a constant and easily identifiable entry point which does not involve partial resection of the inferior facet, thus maintaining s...
متن کاملSafety entry point, size and direction for placement of thoracic pedicle screw--a cadaveric study.
BACKGROUND Understanding of the pedicle anatomy is necessary for pedicle screw placement; however, there have been few Thai studies reporting on thoracic pedicle morphometry. OBJECTIVE To determine important anatomical measurements for thoracic pedicle screw fixation. MATERIAL AND METHOD T1-T12 vertebral pedicles were evaluated in 27 cadavers. The diameter angle, length and entry point of t...
متن کاملClinical significance of superior articular process as a reference point for free-hand pedicle screw insertion in thoracic spine
The trajectory of the pedicle screw perpendicular to the SAP (superior articular process) is consistent with the universal trajectory presented in the previous study of the entry point using computed tomography. The ideal entry point and trajectory of pedicle screw insertion have been a matter of considerable debate. We attempted to find the relationship between SAP and entry point and trajecto...
متن کاملA new free-hand pedicle screw placement technique with reference to the supraspinal ligament
We sought to compare the safety and accuracy of a new free-hand pedicle screw placement technique to that of the conventional technique. One hundred fifty-three consecutive adult patients with simple fracture in the thoracic or/and lumbar spine were alternately assigned to either the new free-hand or the conventional group. In the new free-hand technique group, preoperative computerized tomogra...
