This new technique evaluating precision of screw placement in 3 dimensions improves the ability to define screw placement. Pedicle screw position at final imaging showed the use of StealthStation navigation to be accurate and safe. As this is a preliminary evaluation, we have identified several factors affecting the precision of pedicle screw final position relative to that predicted with navigation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
