| Popis: | Background We evaluate the feasibility and potential advantages of spinal CT navigation in the placement of pedicle screws at the cervicothoracic junction in the sitting position to counteract the anatomy-related limitations of 2D fluoroscopy. Methods We retrospectively analyze the data from 15 patients who underwent CT-based navigation-guided placement of a total of 36 pedicle screws at the cervicothoracic junction in the sitting position. Results CT-based spinal navigation is a useful method in increasing accuracy of pedicle screw instrumentation in the sitting position, successfully counteracting the anatomy-related limitations of 2D fluoroscopy at the cervicothoracic junction. Conclusion CT-based navigation-guided placement of pedicle screws at the cervicothoracic junction in the sitting position proved to be an accurate, safe, and user-friendly method. |
