Pin penetration depths in the neurocranium using a three-pin head fixation device

Abstract In estimated 10–15% of neurosurgical interventions employing a conventional three-pin head fixation device (HFD) the patient’s head loses position due to slippage. At present no scientifically based stability criterion exists to potentially prevent the intraoperative loss of head position o...
