First experience with a novel image guidance technology for posterior pedicle screw fixation: A cadaveric study on 2D/3D registration-based spine surgery
The use of 2D/3D image guidance in this study demonstrated high precision in the placement of K-wires and pedicle screws. Consequently, 2D/3D image guidance presents a promising tool for both experienced and inexperienced users, facilitating precise 3D guidance of pedicle screws with a standard 2D C-arm.
