ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Dorsal instrumentation using pedicle screws is a standard treatment for multiple spinal pathologies, such as trauma, infection, or degenerative indications. Intraoperative three-dimensional (3D) imaging and navigated pedicle screw placement are used at multiple centers. For the present study, we evaluated a new navigation system enabling augmented reality (AR)-supported pedicle screw placement while integrating navigation cameras into the reference array and drill guide. The present study aimed to evaluate its clinical application regarding safety, efficacy, and accuracy.METHODS:
A total of 20 patients were operated on between 06/2021 and 01/2022 using the new technique for intraoperative navigation. Intraoperative data with a focus on accuracy and patient safety, including patient outcome, were analyzed. The accuracy of pedicle screw placement was evaluated by intraoperative CT imaging.RESULTS:
A median of 8 (4-18) pedicle screws were placed in each case. Percutaneous instrumentation was performed in 14 patients (70%). The duration of pedicle screw placement (duration scan-scan) was 56 ± 26 (30-107) min. Intraoperative screw revision was necessary for 3 of 180 pedicle screws (1.7%). Intraoperatively, no major complications occurred-one case of delay due to software issues and one case of difficult screw placement were reported.CONCLUSION:
The current study's results could confirm the use of the present AR-supported system for navigated pedicle screw placement for dorsal instrumentation in clinical routine. It provides a reliable and safe tool for 3D imaging-based pedicle screw placement, only requires a minimal intraoperative setup, and provides new opportunities by integrating AR.Palavras-chave
