Surgeon Handedness in Transpedicular Instrumentation - A Short Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many surgeons have right hand dominance as in the normal population. Right hand dominance may cause difficulties depending on the position of the patient and the surgeon position according to the patient during surgical treatment. Even when the patient is operated on in the neutral position, there are some challenges. In spinal surgery, the difficulties faced by surgeons are in the phase of spinal instrumentation, which requires bilateral application. The challenges experienced by surgeons with left hand dominance are quite different.

Surgical outcome of transpedicular fixation in thoracolumber fractures.
BACKGROUND Development of transpedicular screw fixation techniques and instrumentation systems has brought short-segment instrumentation (fixation of one normal vertebra above and below an injured segment) into general clinical practice. The purpose of this study is to report the surgical outcome of thoracolumber fractures treated with short-segment pedicle instrumentation. METHODS A retrospe...
متن کاملThoracolumbar burst fractures treated with posterior decompression and pedicle screw instrumentation supplemented with balloon-assisted vertebroplasty and calcium phosphate reconstruction.
BACKGROUND The treatment of unstable thoracolumbar burst fractures with short-segment posterior spinal instrumentation without anterior column reconstruction is associated with a high rate of screw breakage and progressive loss of reduction. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the functional, neurologic, and radiographic results following transpedicular, balloon-assisted fracture r...
متن کاملTranspedicular bone grafting as a supplement to posterior pedicle screw instrumentation in thoracolumbar burst fractures.
The objective of the present study was to investigate whether transpedicular bone grafting as a supplement to posterior pedicle screw fixation in thoracolumbar fractures results in a stable reconstruction of the anterior column, that allows healing of the fracture without loss of correction. Posterior instrumentation using an internal fixator is a standard procedure for stabilizing the injured ...
متن کاملA “rising” transpedicular access to anterior vertebral body: A case report
INTRODUCTION The transpedicular access is a common and effective procedure used to reach anterior vertebral body without passing through critical structures. after a transpedicular instrumentation, it is difficult to reach the anterior vertebral body because screws are placed in the way. We assume that an innovative transdiscal route could be used in patients with previous instrumentation, in o...

Computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery was born in the 1990s. Nowadays, computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery is used for transpedicular screw fixation and for total knee arthroplasty.Patient-specific instrumentation is one type of computer-assisted surgery based on volumetric images, such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.In this article, possible applications of patient-spec...
