Utility of C arm aided, CT guided, and O arm navigation aids to surgically manage cases of spinal osteoblastoma over a decade

Abstract Background Spinal osteoblastoma needs surgical intervention, and over a decade with advancing technologies, different radiological aids have been utilized in the form of CT scan, fluoroscopy O arm, but no study has compared its efficacy outcomes. Here, this case report three cases, we intra- post-operative course effectiveness modalities. Case presentation We reviewed surgically treated cases spinal aid generation modalities like C scan arm navigation span more than 10 years single institute by same surgeon. These 3 were assessed terms intraoperative parameters (image acquisition type, image display, time, bone quality, real-time imaging, radiation exposure, blood loss, complications others) (recovery, recurrence follow-up). First managed showed fluoroscopically acquired two-dimensional images, poor quality; higher time-surgical time loss exposure imaging. Second provided three-dimensional better lower increased transport minimum to surgeon OT personnel Third 3-dimensional best less Additionally, improved accuracy tumor localization confirmation complete excision. Whereas all clinico-radiological signs on subsequent follow-ups. Conclusion accuracy, excision, recovery makes it superior others.
