Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted pedicle screw placement in spinal fusion has been well studied. However, few studies have evaluated robot-assisted sacroiliac joint (SIJ) fusion. The aim of this study was to compare surgical characteristics, accuracy, and complications between robot-assisted and fluoroscopically guided SIJ fusion.
