Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Medical imaging and navigation

Background:

  • Computer-assisted pedicle screw insertion is established in spinal surgery.
  • Pelvic and hip surgery, including revision arthroplasty and tumor surgery, also utilize screw fixation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate computer navigation's utility for precise screw placement in pelvic bones.
  • To compare screw lengths achieved with and without computer navigation in pelvic bone models.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Medivision's computer navigation system (SurgiGATE 2.1) with optically controlled instruments.
  • Performed screw insertions into Os ileum, Os pubis, and Os ischium in paired pelvic models (with and without navigation).
  • Measured and statistically compared inserted screw lengths.

Main Results:

  • Computer navigation significantly increased mean screw length in Os ileum (8.9 vs. 5.7 cm) and Os pubis (6.0 vs. 4.2 cm).
  • A trend towards longer screws was observed in Os ischium, though not statistically significant.
  • Navigation facilitated more exact screw positioning, requiring precise entry points and drill vectors.

Conclusions:

  • Computer navigation enhances screw length and precision in pelvic bone fixation.
  • This technology is valuable for complex pelvic and hip surgeries, including revision arthroplasty and tumor resections.
