A Synergistic Patient-Specific Approach for Enhanced Spinal Fixation Using a Novel Flexible Pedicle Screw and a Complementary Steerable Drilling Robotic System
This work presents a transformative approach to SF, with potential clinical applications in improving surgical outcomes for osteoporotic patients. The integration of robotic-assisted drilling and flexible implants could significantly reduce fixation failure rates, advancing orthopedic and spinal surgical practices.
