CT correlation of spinal canal diameter with pedicle size for safer posterior cervical pedicle screw fixation
Preoperative pedicle size evaluation remains an essential manoeuvre before performing cervical C3-C7 pedicle screw placement. In 71 cervical CT studies, we found no consistent correlation between POW and SCD values, indicating that it is difficult to estimate POW values based on spinal canal size.
