Turning the screw: assessing the impact of full power-assisted versus manual pedicle screw insertion in paediatric spine surgery
Full power-assisted pedicle screw insertion is as efficient and accurate as manual techniques, with fewer complications in pedicle screw placement surgery. These findings support the use of power assistance to enhance surgical safety. Further research should validate these results in diverse patient populations and long-term follow-up.
