A recent study conducted at the Norton Leatherman Spine Center in Louisville, Kentucky compared two different workflows for the placement of cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screws using robotic assistance. The study found that a non-tapping, two-step workflow for CBT screw placement reduced robotic time without increasing complications. The research collected and analyzed data on factors such as total screws, screw-related complications, estimated blood loss, operative time, and return to the operating room. The study concluded that the No-Tap screw insertion workflow is a safe and efficient option for robot-assisted CBT. [Extracted from the article] |
