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 …

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 …

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 (CPS) insertion is a technically demanding procedure.
The quantitative understanding of cervical pedicle morphology, especially the narrowest part …

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

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 …

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 CONTEXT: Successful placement of pedicle screws in the cervical spine
requires a sufficient three-dimensional understanding of pedicle morphology to allow …

Background: Cervical transpedicular screw fixation is safe and is probably going to be the
gold standard for cervical spine fixation. However, cervical transpedicular screw use in the …
