Cortical screw fixation using CT-navigation coupled with real-time electrophysiological monitoring of individual screw placement for unstable degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis

Cortical screw fixation using CT-navigation coupled with real-time electrophysiological monitoring of individual screw placement for unstable degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis

Introduction: Cortical screws offer a less invasive alternative compared to traditional pedicle screws. These screws are inserted in an inferomedial to superolateral trajectory achieving greater cortical bone purchase. Similar fusion rates, pain relief, and decreased surgical morbidity at 12-month f...
