PURPOSE: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the different of accuracy between robot-assisted and conventional freehand pedicle screw placement.
INTRODUCTION: Pedicle screws are commonly employed to restore spinal stability and correct deformities. The Renaissance robotic system was developed to improve the accuracy of pedicle screw placement.
BACKGROUND: Robotic assistance for the placement of pedicle screws has been established as a safe technique. Nonetheless rare instances of screw misplacement have been reported.The aim of the present retrospective study is to assess whether experienc...
Irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation (IAAD) refers to a pathological condition characterized by instability and difficulty in achieving reduction through traction, resulting from abnormalities in the bony or soft tissue structures around the atlantoa...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: This study seeks to develop a combined model integrating clinical data, radiomics, and deep learning (DL) for predicting the efficacy of posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) surgery.
OBJECTIVE: Postoperative recovery following lumbar fusion surgery in patients aged 75 years and older often requires a prolonged length of stay (PLOS) in the hospital. Accurately predicting the risk of PLOS and assessing its risk factors for preopera...
OBJECTIVE: Mechanical complications are a vexing occurrence after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. While achieving ideal spinal alignment in ASD surgery is critical, alignment alone may not fully explain all mechanical complications. The authors...
