Structural Characteristics of the Pedicle and Its Role in Screw Stability

Abstract: Screw stability depends on the structural characteristics of the pedicle. The pedicle was denser in the subcortical bone, in which the threads of the screw engage, than in trabecular bone. In osteoporosis, bone mineral density was not as dense even in the outer layer, and the cortex was thinner than normal. A larger screw would not enhance screw stability and may break the thin cortex in osteoporotic vertebrae.

“…In addition, the insertional torque and pullout strength were proven to be higher with pCPSs than with lateral mass screw insertion [13]. It is the cortical purchase of pedicle screws that determines the increased POR of pCPS compared with the cancellous purchase of screws in the vertebral body or lateral mass [11]. This fact results in the pullout resistance correlating with the engagement of the screw in the cortical bone of the pedicle canal [16].…”

“…CBT starts at the lateral part of the pars interarticularis and follows a mediolateral and caudocranial path through the pedicle. While traditional trajectory (TT) screws are inserted along the anatomical axis of the pedicle and rely on their stability mainly with cancellous bone in the pedicle and vertebral body 8) , CBT screws can maximize the contact between the screw thread and cortical bone within the complex structure of the vertebra by altering the screw trajectory in novel fashion 9) . Because cortical bone is less affected by the osteoporotic process than cancellous bone, the CBT technique has the possibility to reduce the incidence of screw loosening and subsequent fusion failure in osteoporotic patients.…”

“…A falha na ancoragem do sistema de fixação pode estar relacionada com a falha mecânica do implante ou falha do tecido ósseo da vértebra (LASTRA e BENZEL, 2003;LAW, TENCER e ANDERSON, 1993). Como exemplo mais freqüente poderíamos citar a osteoporose (BRANTKEY, MAYFIELD e KOENEMAN, 1994;GEORG et al, 1991;HIRANO et al, 1997;LINDSEY et al, 1993). Neste tipo de osso, a fragilidade do tecido não fornece a resistência necessária para a ancoragem dos implantes e a sustentação das forças que são aplicadas sobre eles, ocorrendo com muita freqüência a soltura dos implantes da vértebra com conseqüente perda da sua função biomecânica de correção ou de estabilização (BRANTKEY, MAYFIELD e KOENEMAN, 1994;COE, 1990;GEORG et al, 1991;HIRANO et al, 1997;LAW, TENCER e ANDERSON, 1993;LINDSEY et al, 1993).…”
