Abstract
BACKGROUND: Vague spinal anatomical landmarks in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) make intraoperative insertion of pedicle screws difficult under direct vision. Currently, the clinical outcome is significantly improved with robot guidance. This study aims to explore the efficacy of robot-assisted pedicle screw insertion in treating AS combined with spinal fractures.
