Intraoperative imaging is vital for accurate placement of instrumentation in spine surgery.
However, the use of biplanar fluoroscopy and other intraoperative imaging modalities is …

Recently, spine surgery has gradually evolved from conventional open surgery to minimally
invasive surgery, and endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) has become an important procedure …

BACKGROUND Treatment of several spine disorders requires placement of pedicle screws.
Detailed 3-dimensional (3D) anatomic information facilitates this process and improves …

Study Design: Prospective pre-clinical and clinical cohort study. Objectives: Current spinal
navigation systems rely on a dynamic reference frame (DRF) for image-to-patient …

Study Design: Retrospective review. Objective: The aim was to evaluate the learning curve
of skin-anchored intraoperative navigation (ION) for minimally invasive lumbar surgery …

Introduction Instrumentation using the intraoperative O-arm navigation technique appears
safer than its predecessor techniques. However, only a handful of surgeons often used …

Background Orthopedic residents in our institute have the opportunity to participate in
navigation-assisted spine surgery during their residency training. This paves the way for a …

Background: Change in vertebral position between preoperative imaging and the surgical
procedure reduces the accuracy of image-guided spinal surgery, requiring repeated …

Objective Computer-assisted three-dimensional navigation often guides spinal
instrumentation. Optical topographic imaging (OTI) offers comparable accuracy and …

Background Instrumentation of the lumbosacral region is one of the more challenging
regions due to the complex anatomical structures and biomechanical forces. Screw insertion …
