The Accuracy and Safety of Free-Hand C7 Laminar Screw Fixation
Free-hand C7 laminar screw fixation demonstrated acceptable accuracy and safety. Despite a frequent occurrence of laminar cortical breach (25%) with our free-hand technique, there was no clinically relevant neurovascular or mechanical complications occurred. This technique may offer a feasible option for C7 posterior fixation alternative to pedicle screw, especially in situations where advanced imaging guide is unavailable.
