Three-step fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous lumbar pedicle screw placement: a pilot study on technical feasibility, safety, and fluoroscopy reduction
This pilot study suggests that the three-step fluoroscopy-guided PPS technique is technically feasible and may reduce fluoroscopy usage while maintaining short-term procedural safety, making it a feasible and efficient alternative that warrants further validation in larger cohorts.
