Novel cervical pedicle screw design to enhance the safety insertion without compromising biomechanical strength
The proposed novel CPS could decrease pedicle wall perforation and enhance the safety of screw insertion. Its pullout strength is comparable to that of a 3.5-mm standard CPS and superior to that of a 3.5-mm lateral mass screw.
