Is the postoperative pedicle screw position after dorsal instrumentation with or without intraoperative cone beam CT imaging worse in patients with obesity than in normal-weight patients?

Is the postoperative pedicle screw position after dorsal instrumentation with or without intraoperative cone beam CT imaging worse in patients with obesity than in normal-weight patients?

Abstract Background Intraoperative cone beam CT (CBCT) imaging in dorsal instrumentation facilitates pedicle screw positioning. However, in patients with obesity, the benefit may be reduced due to artifacts that affect image quality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether intraoperative C...
