Background: Pedicle screw instrumentation of the posterior cervical spine is the most secure
form of fixation available to surgeons. It has not achieved widespread use yet in the Middle …

Background Transpedicular screw fixation of the cervical spine provides excellent
biomechanical stability. The feasibility of inserting a 3.5-mm screw in the pedicle requires a …

Background: The purpose of this study was to analyze morphometry of the subaxial cervical
spine pedicles in an Indian population based on computed tomography (CT), and thus …

Aim: To assess the morphometry of the subaxial cervical spine pedicles through
computerized tomography and to determine the frequency of neurovascular injuries in …

Purpose Pedicle screw instrumentation provides optimal stabilization of the cervical spine
complex, but is associated with risk of neurovascular injury. Sex and ethnic disparities may …

Malpositioning of cervical screws risks neurovascular injury. A cervical screw fixation system
can provide proper rigidity, alignment correction, and high rates of fusion afforded by high …

Background: Although cervical spine pedicle screws have been shown to provide excellent
fixation, widespread acceptance of their use is limited because of the risk of injury to the …

Background: Cervical pedicle screw insertion is a technically demanding procedure that
carries the risk of catastrophic damage to surrounding neurovascular structures. Here, we …

Study Design. This study investigated the subaxial cervical pedicles from C3 to C7 to
provide information for accurately transpedicular screw fixation in this region. Objective. This …

The objective of this study was to explore a safe, reliable, and effective method for pedicle
screw implantation in the lower cervical spine. Recently, a number of studies have shown …
