BACKGROUND CONTEXTDue to recent developments in augmented reality with head-mounted devices, holograms of a surgical plan can be displayed directly in the surgeon's field of view. To the best of our knowledge, three dimensional (3D) intraoperative fluoroscopy has not been explored for the use with holographic navigation by head-mounted devices in spine surgery.PURPOSETo evaluate the surgical accuracy of holographic pedicle screw navigation by head-mounted device using 3D intraoperative fluoroscopy.STUDY DESIGNIn this experimental cadaver study, the accuracy of surgical navigation using a head-mounted device was compared with navigation with a state-of-the-art pose-tracking system.METHODSThree lumbar cadaver spines were embedded in nontransparent agar gel, leaving only commonly visible anatomy in sight. Intraoperative registration of preoperative planning was achieved by 3D fluoroscopy and fiducial markers attached to lumbar vertebrae. Trackable custom-made drill sleeve guides enabled real-time navigation. In total, 20 K-wires were navigated into lumbar pedicles using AR-navigation, 10 K-wires by the state-of-the-art pose-tracking system. 3D models obtained from postexperimental CT scans were used to measure surgical accuracy.

The other authors declare no conflict of interest concerning the contents of this study. No external funding was received for this study.RESULTSNo significant difference in accuracy was measured between AR-navigated drillings and the gold standard with pose-tracking system with mean translational errors between entry points (3D vector distance; p=.85) of 3.4±1.6 mm compared with 3.2±2.0 mm, and mean angular errors between trajectories (3D angle; p=.30) of 4.3°±2.3° compared with 3.5°±1.4°.CONCLUSIONSIn conclusion, holographic navigation by use of a head-mounted device achieve accuracy comparable to the gold standard of high-end pose-tracking systems.CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCEThese promising results could result in a new way of surgical navigation with minimal infrastructural requirements but now have to be confirmed in clinical studies. 相似文献

Background contextWe retrospectively analyzed a total of 1,218 pedicle screws for accuracy, with postoperative computed tomography (CT), in 198 patients who were operated on between March 2004 and September 2012.PurposeTo determine the incidence of screw misplacement in patients who received a transpedicular screw fixation, with intraoperative fluoroscopy in the lateral and lateral with anteroposterior (AP) positions. The results are compared between the two groups.Study designRetrospective comparative study of accuracy of pedicle screw placement in thoracic and lumbar spine.Patient sampleThe sample consists of 198 consecutive patients who underwent transpedicular screw fixation.Outcome measuresAccuracy of screw placement was evaluated by postoperative CT scan. Misplacement was defined in cases where more than 25% of the screw size was residing outside the pedicle.MethodsThe indications for hardware placement, radiologic studies, patient demographics, and reoperation rates were recorded. Five hundred twenty-eight screws (Group A, n=81) were inserted into the vertebral body with the assistance of lateral fluoroscopy only, whereas 690 screws (Group B, n=117) were inserted with the assistance of lateral fluoroscopy, and the final positions of the screws were checked with AP fluoroscopy.ResultsA total of 1,218 screws were analyzed, with 962 screws placed at the lumbosacral region and 256 screws at the thoracic region. According to the postoperative CT scan, 27 screws (2.2%) were identified as breaching the pedicle. Nineteen of them (3.6%) were in Group A, whereas 8 (1.16%) were in Group B. The rate of pedicle breaches was significantly different between Group A and B (p=.0052). In Group A, the lateral violation of the pedicle was seen in 10 screws (1.9%), whereas medial violation was seen in 9 screws (1.7%). In Group B, the lateral violation of the pedicle was seen in six screws (0.87%), whereas medial violation was seen in two screws (0.29%). The medial and lateral penetration of screws were significantly different between Groups A and B (p<.05). A pedicle breach occurred in 21 patients, and 15 of them underwent a revision surgery to correct the misplaced screw. Of these patients, 11 (13.6%) were in Group A, and 4 (3.4%) were in Group B (p=.0335).ConclusionsIn this study, we evaluated and clarified the diagnostic value of intraoperative fluoroscopy in both the lateral and AP imaging that have not yet been evaluated in any comparative study. We concluded that the intraoperative use of fluoroscopy, especially in the AP position, significantly decreases the risk of screw misplacement and the results are comparable with other advanced techniques. 相似文献

BACKGROUNDNavigation systems for spinal fusion surgery rely on intraoperative computed tomography (CT) or fluoroscopy imaging. Both expose patient, surgeons and operating room staff to significant amounts of radiation. Alternative methods involving intraoperative ultrasound (iUS) imaging have recently shown promise for image-to-patient registration. Yet, the feasibility and safety of iUS navigation in spinal fusion have not been demonstrated.PURPOSETo evaluate the accuracy of pedicle screw insertion in lumbar and thoracolumbar spinal fusion using a fully automated iUS navigation system.STUDY DESIGNProspective porcine cadaver study.METHODSFive porcine cadavers were used to instrument the lumbar and thoracolumbar spine using posterior open surgery. During the procedure, iUS images were acquired and used to establish automatic registration between the anatomy and preoperative CT images. Navigation was performed with the preoperative CT using tracked instruments. The accuracy of the system was measured as the distance of manually collected points to the preoperative CT vertebral surface and compared against fiducial-based registration. A postoperative CT was acquired, and screw placements were manually verified. We report breach rates, as well as axial and sagittal screw deviations.RESULTSA total of 56 screws were inserted (5.50 mm diameter n=50, and 6.50 mm diameter n=6). Fifty-two screws were inserted safely without breach. Four screws (7.14%) presented a medial breach with an average deviation of 1.35±0.37 mm (all <2 mm). Two breaches were caused by 6.50 mm diameter screws, and two by 5.50 mm screws. For vertebrae instrumented with 5.50 mm screws, the average axial diameter of the pedicle was 9.29 mm leaving a 1.89 mm margin in the left and right pedicle. For vertebrae instrumented with 6.50 mm screws, the average axial diameter of the pedicle was 8.99 mm leaving a 1.24 mm error margin in the left and right pedicle. The average distance to the vertebral surface was 0.96 mm using iUS registration and 0.97 mm using fiducial-based registration.CONCLUSIONSWe successfully implanted all pedicle screws in the thoracolumbar spine using the ultrasound-based navigation system. All breaches recorded were minor (<2 mm) and the breach rate (7.14%) was comparable to existing literature. More investigation is needed to evaluate consistency, reproducibility, and performance in surgical context.CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCEIntraoperative US-based navigation is feasible and practical for pedicle screw insertion in a porcine model. It might be used as a low-cost and radiation-free alternative to intraoperative CT and fluoroscopy in the future. 相似文献

Background/objective: Little is known about the long-term effects of chronic exposure to ionizingradiation. Studies have shown that spine surgeons may be exposed to significantly more radiation than thatobserved in surgery on the appendicular skeleton. Computer-assisted image guidance systems have beenshown in preliminary studies to enable accurate instrumentation of the spine. Computer-assisted image guidance systems may havesignificant application to the surgical management of spinal trauma and deformity. The objective of this study was to compare C-arm fluoroscopy and computer-assisted imageguidance in terms of radiation exposure to the operative surgeon when placing pedicle screw-rod constructsin cadaver specimens.Methods: Twelve single-level (2 contiguous vertebral bodies) lumbar pedicle screw-rod constructs (48screws) in 4 fresh cadavers were placed using standard C-arm fluoroscopy and computer-assisted imageguidance (Stealth Station with lso-C3D ).Pedicle screw-rod constructs were placed at L1-L2, L3-L4, and L5-S1 in 4 fresh cadaver specimens. Imaging was alternated between C-arm fluoroscopy and computer-assistedimage guidance with Stealth Station lso-C3D. Radiation exposure was measured using ringand badge dosimeters to monitor the thyroid, torso, and index finger. Postprocedure CT scans were obtained to judge accuracy of screw placement.Results: Mean radiation exposure to the torso was 4.33 ± 2.66 mRemfor procedures performed with standard fluoroscopy and 0.33 ± 0.82 mRem for procedures performed with computer-assisted image guidance. This difference was statistically significant (P = 0.012). Radiation exposure to the index finger and thyroid was negligible for all procedures. The accuracy of screw placement was similar for both techniques.Conclusions: Computer-assisted image guidance systems allow for the safe and accurate placement ofpedicle screw-rod constructs with a significant reduction in exposure to ionizing radiation to the torso of theoperating surgeon. 相似文献

Background
Minimally invasive percutaneous pedicle screw instrumentation methods may increase the need for intraoperative fluoroscopy, resulting in excessive radiation exposure for the patient, surgeon, and support staff. Electromagnetic field (EMF)-based navigation may aid more accurate placement of percutaneous pedicle screws while reducing fluoroscopic exposure. We compared the accuracy, time of insertion, and radiation exposure of EMF with traditional fluoroscopic percutaneous pedicle screw placement. 相似文献8.

Different navigation procedures (based on 2D-, 3D-fluoroscopy or CT modalities) with their respective limitations are established
in orthopedic surgery. The hypothesis is that intraoperative matching of different modalities (fluoro and CT) increases the
precision of navigated screw placement and reduces the fluoroscopy time. Vertical unstable pelvic ring fractures of 12 patients
were treated with vertebro-pelvic fixations (6 in the standard technique and 6 using the fluoro-CT navigation). An optimal
osseous corridor could be determined by the navigation procedure increasing the overall precision of screw placement (no misplacement
in the second group as compared to one malplaced pedicle screw in the standard group). The achieved screw lengths were [(mean ± SE)
78 ± 5 vs. 53 ± 4 mm, p < 0.001). Less invasive open approaches and a reduction of fluoroscopy time (time per screw in seconds: 121 vs. 62 s) were
observed. CT-fluoro-matched navigation improves the intraoperative visualization of osseous structures and increases the precision
of screw placement with less radiation exposure. 相似文献

Background:There is much more radiation exposure to the surgeons during minimally invasive pedicle screws placement. In order to ease the surgeon''s hand-eye coordination and to reduce the iatrogenic radiation injury to the surgeons, a robot assisted percutaneous pedicle screw placement is useful. This study assesses the feasibility and clinical value of robot assisted navigated drilling for pedicle screw placement and the results thus achieved formed the basis for the development of a new robot for pedicle screw fixation surgery.Results:Assisted by spine robot system, the average time for system registration was (343.4 ± 18.4) s, the average time for procedure of drilling one pedicle screw trajectory was (89.5 ± 6.1) s, times of fluoroscopy for drilling one pedicle screw were (2.9 ± 0.8) times. Overall, 12 (15.0%) of the 80 K-wires violated the pedicle wall. Four screws (5.0%) were medial to the pedicle and 8 (10.5%) were lateral. The number of K-wires wholly within the pedicle were 68 (85%).Conclusions:The preliminary study supports the view that computer assisted pedicle screw fixation using spinal robot is feasible and the robot can decrease the intraoperative fluoroscopy time during the minimally invasive pedicle screw fixation surgery. As spine robotic surgery is still in its infancy, further research in this field is worthwhile especially the accuracy of spine robot system should be improved. 相似文献

BACKGROUND CONTEXTThe introduction and integration of robot technology into modern spine surgery provides surgeons with millimeter accuracy for pedicle screw placement. Coupled with computer-based navigation platforms, robot-assisted spine surgery utilizes augmented reality to potentially improve the safety profile of instrumentation.PURPOSEIn this study, the authors seek to determine the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted pedicle screw placement compared to conventional free-hand (FH) technique.STUDY DESIGN/SETTINGWe conducted a systematic review of the electronic databases using different MeSH terms from 1980 to 2020.OUTCOME MEASURESThe present study measures pedicle screw accuracy, complication rates, proximal-facet joint violation, intraoperative radiation time, radiation dosage, and length of surgery.RESULTSA total of 1,525 patients (7,379 pedicle screws) from 19 studies with 777 patients (51.0% with 3,684 pedicle screws) in the robotic-assisted group were included. Perfect pedicle screw accuracy, as categorized by Gerztbein-Robbin Grade A, was significantly superior with robotic-assisted surgery compared to FH-technique (Odds ratio [OR]: 1.68, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.20–2.35; p=.003). Similarly, clinically acceptable pedicle screw accuracy (Grade A+B) was significantly higher with robotic-assisted surgery versus FH-technique (OR: 1.54, 95% CI: 1.01–2.37; p=.05). Furthermore, the complication rates and proximal-facet joint violation were 69% (OR: 0.31, 95% CI: 0.20–0.48; p<.00001) and 92% less likely (OR: 0.08, 95% CI: 0.03–0.20; p<.00001) with robotic-assisted surgery versus FH-group. Robotic-assisted pedicle screw implantation significantly reduced intraoperative radiation time (MD: ?5.30, 95% CI: ?6.83–3.76; p<.00001) and radiation dosage (MD: ?3.70, 95% CI: ?4.80–2.60; p<.00001) compared to the conventional FH-group. However, the length of surgery was significantly higher with robotic-assisted surgery (MD: 22.70, 95% CI: 6.57–38.83; p=.006) compared to the FH-group.CONCLUSIONThis meta-analysis corroborates the accuracy of robot-assisted pedicle screw placement. 相似文献

Background contextAdolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients treated before the 1990s have a 1% to 2% increased lifetime risk of developing breast and thyroid cancer as a result of ionizing radiation from plain radiographs. Although present plain radiographic techniques have been able to reduce some of the radiation exposure, modern treatment algorithms for scoliosis often include computed tomography (CT) and intraoperative fluoroscopy. The exact magnitude of exposure to ionizing radiation in adolescents during modern scoliosis treatment is therefore unclear.PurposeTo determine the difference in radiation exposures in patients undergoing various forms of treatment for AIS.Study designRetrospective cohort.Patient samplePatients aged 9 to 18 years with a diagnosis of AIS, followed and/or treated with nonoperative or operative management for a minimum of 2 years.Outcome measuresNumber of radiographs and total radiation exposure calculated.MethodsThe charts and radiographs of patients managed for AIS at a single institution between September 2007 and January 2012 were reviewed. Patients were divided into three groups: operative group, braced group, and observation group. Patient demographics, Cobb angles, and curve types were recorded. The number of radiographs per year that each patient received and the total radiation dose were recorded. The plain radiographic radiation exposure was then combined with the direct exposure recording from ancillary tests, such as fluoroscopy and CT, and a radiation exposure rate was calculated (mrad/y). A single-factor analysis of variance (α=0.01) with a Tukey honest significant difference post hoc analysis was used to test significance between groups.ResultsTwo hundred sixty-seven patients were evaluated: 86 operative, 80 brace, and 101 observation. All groups had similar demographics and curve type distribution. The mean initial Cobb angle at presentation was significantly different between the groups: operative (57°±11°), brace (24°±7.9°), and observation (18°±9.4°) (p<.01). There was a significant difference among the groups in terms of the mean number of radiographs received per year; operative group, 12.2 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 10.8–13.5; p<.001); braced group, 5.7 (95% CI: 5.2–6.2; p<.001), and observed group, 3.5 (95% CI: 3.160–3.864; p<.001). The operative group received 1,400 mrad per year (95% CI: 1,350–1,844; p<.001), braced group received 700 mrad per year (95% CI: 598–716; p<.001), and observed group received 400 mrad per year (95% CI: 363–444; p<.001). Importantly, 78% of radiation in the operative group was attributable to the operative fluoroscopy exposure.ConclusionsSignificant differences exist in the total radiation exposure in scoliosis patients with different treatment regimens, with operative patients receiving approximately 8 to 14 times more radiation than braced patients or those undergoing observation alone, respectively. Operative patients also receive more than twice the radiation per year than braced or observed patients. Almost 78% of the annual radiation exposure for operative patients occurs intraoperatively. Because children are notably more sensitive to the carcinogenic effects of ionizing radiation, judicious use of present imaging methods and a search for newer imaging methods with limited ionizing radiation should be undertaken. 相似文献

PurposeReports on heterogenous groups of patients have indicated that pedicle screw insertion guided by navigation (PIN) leads to, for the patient, higher doses of radiation compared with pedicle screw insertion guided by fluoroscopy (PIF). This would be a major concern, especially in paediatric deformity correction.MethodsAfter a power analysis (aiming at > 0.8) 293 pedicle screws which were inserted in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were analyzed by comparing effective dose and fluoroscopy time per screw for three different techniques. Groups 2 and 3 were matched to Group 1 by Lenke type of scoliosis. Group 1 were prospectively enrolled consecutive patients that have been operated on by PIN with image acquisition by preoperative CT scan (CTS). Group 2 were consecutive retrospectively matched patients who have been operated on by PIN with image acquisition by an intraoperative 3D scan (3DS). Group 3 were consecutive retrospectively matched patients who have been operated on by PIF.ResultsMean dose of radiation per screw was 1.0 mSv (sd 0.8) per screw in CTS patients, 0.025 mSv (sd 0.001) per screw in 3DS patients and 0.781 mSv (sd 0.12) per screw in PIF patients. The difference was significant (p < 0.0001).ConclusionWhen we compared different techniques of navigation, navigation by image acquisition with CTS showed a significantly higher (by 97.5%) dose of radiation per screw for the patient than navigation by image acquisition by a 3DS. Navigation by 3DS showed significantly lower effective dose per screw for the adolescent patients than the fluoroscopic technique.Level of Evidence:II 相似文献

Background contextPedicle screw malposition rates using conventional techniques have been reported to occur with a frequency of 6% to 41%. The upper thoracic spine (T1–T3) is a challenging area for pedicle screw placement secondary to the small size of the pedicles, the inability to visualize this area with lateral fluoroscopy, and significant consequences for malpositioned screws. We describe our experience placing 150 pedicle screws in the T1–T3 levels using three-dimensional (3D) image guidance.PurposeThe aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of 3D image guidance for placing pedicle screws in the first three thoracic vertebrae.Study designThe accuracy of pedicle screw placement in the first three thoracic vertebrae was evaluated using postoperative thin-section computed tomography (CT) scans of the cervicothoracic region.Patient sampleThirty-four patients who underwent cervicothoracic fusion were included.Outcome measuresRadiological investigation with CT scans was performed during the postoperative period.MethodsThirty-four consecutive patients underwent cervicothoracic instrumentation and fusion for a total of 150 pedicle screws placed in the first three thoracic vertebrae. All screws were placed using 3D image guidance. Medical records and postoperative imaging of the cervicothoracic junction for each patient were retrospectively reviewed. An independent radiologist reviewed the placement of the pedicle screws and assessed for pedicle breach. All cortical violations were reported as Grade 1, 0 to 2 mm; Grade 2, 2 to 4 mm; and Grade 3, greater than 4 mm.ResultsOverall, 140 (93.3%) out of 150 screws were contained solely in the desired pedicle. All 10 pedicle violations were Grade 1. The direction of pedicle violation included three medial, four inferior, two superior, and one minor anterolateral vertebral body. No complication occurred as a result of screw placement or the use of image guidance.ConclusionsUpper thoracic pedicle screw placement is technically demanding as a result of variable pedicle anatomy and difficulty with two-dimensional visualization. This study demonstrates the accuracy and reliability of 3D image guidance when placing pedicle screws in this region. Advantages of this technology in our practice include safe and accurate placement of spinal instrumentation with little to no radiation exposure to the surgeon and operating room staff. 相似文献

Purpose
Dorsal spinal instrumentation with pedicle screw constructs is considered the gold standard for numerous spinal pathologies. Screw misplacement is biomechanically disadvantageous and may create severe complications. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of patient-specific template-guided pedicle screw placement in the thoracic and lumbar spine compared to the free-hand technique with fluoroscopy.Methods
Patient-specific targeting guides were used for pedicle screw placement from Th2–L5 in three cadaveric specimens by three surgeons with different experience levels. Instrumentation for each side and level was randomized (template-guided vs. free-hand). Accuracy was assessed by computed tomography (CT), considering perforations of <2 mm as acceptable (safe zone). Time efficiency, radiation exposure and dependencies on surgical experience were compared between the two techniques.Results
96 screws were inserted with an equal distribution of 48 screws (50 %) in each group. 58 % (n = 28) of template-guided (without fluoroscopy) vs. 44 % (n = 21) of free-hand screws (with fluoroscopy) were fully contained within the pedicle (p = 0.153). 97.9 % (n = 47) of template-guided vs. 81.3 % (n = 39) of free-hand screws were within the 2 mm safe zone (p = 0.008). The mean time for instrumentation per level was 01:14 ± 00:37 for the template-guided vs. 01:40 ± 00:59 min for the free-hand technique (p = 0.013), respectively. Increased radiation exposure was highly associated with lesser experience of the surgeon with the free-hand technique.Conclusions
In a cadaver model, template-guided pedicle screw placement is faster considering intraoperative instrumentation time, has a higher accuracy particularly in the thoracic spine and creates less intraoperative radiation exposure compared to the free-hand technique.17.
Introduction
Although pedicle screw fixation is a well-established technique for the lumbar spine, screw placement in the thoracic spine is more challenging because of the smaller pedicle size and more complex 3D anatomy. The intraoperative use of image guidance devices may allow surgeons a safer, more accurate method for placing thoracic pedicle screws while limiting radiation exposure. This generic 3D imaging technique is a new generation intraoperative CT imaging system designed without compromise to address the needs of a modern OR.Aim
The aim of our study was to check the accuracy of this generic 3D navigated pedicle screw implants in comparison to free hand technique described by Roy-Camille at the thoracic spine using CT scans.Material and methods
The material of this study was divided into two groups: free hand group (group I) (18 patients; 108 screws) and 3D group (27 patients; 100 screws). The patients were operated upon from January 2009 to March 2010. Screw implantation was performed during internal fixation for fractures, tumors, and spondylodiscitis of the thoracic spine as well as for degenerative lumbar scoliosis.Results
The accuracy rate in our work was 89.8 % in the free hand group compared to 98 % in the generic 3D navigated group.Conclusion

Background contextIn spinal surgery, newly developed technology seems to play a key role, especially with the use of computer-assisted image-guided navigation, giving excellent results. However, these tools are expensive and may not be affordable for many facilities.PurposeTo compare the cost-effectiveness of preoperative versus intraoperative CT (computed tomography) guidance in spinal surgery.Study designA retrospective economic study.MethodsA cost-effectiveness study was performed analyzing the overall costs of a population of patients operated on for lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis using an image-guided system (IGS) based on a CT scan. The population was divided into two groups according to the type of CT data set acquisition adopted: Group I (IGS based on a preoperative spiral CT scan), Group II (IGS based on an intraoperative CT scan—O-Arm system). The costs associated with each procedure were assessed through a process analysis, where clinical procedures were broken down into single phases and the related costs from each phase were evaluated. No benefits in any form have been or will be received from commercial parties directly or indirectly related to the subject of this article.ResultsFour hundred ninety-nine patients met the criteria for this study. In total, 2,542 screws were inserted with IGS. Baseline data were similar for the two groups, as were hospitalization and complications. The surgical time was 119±43 minutes in Group I and 92±31 minutes in Group II. The full cost of the two procedures was analyzed: the mean cost, using the O-Arm system (Group II), was found to be €255.83 (3.80%) less than the cost of Group I. Moreover, the O-Arm system was also used in other surgical procedures as an intraoperative control, thus reducing the final costs of radiologic examinations (a reduction of around 550 CT scans/year).ConclusionsIn conclusion, the authors of the study are of the opinion that the surgical procedure of pedicle screw fixation, using a CT-based computer-guidance system with support of the O-Arm system, allows a shortening of procedure time that might improve the clinical result. However, the present study failed to determine a clear cost-effectiveness with respect to other CT-based IGS. 相似文献
