Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
  • Medical Imaging and Navigation
  • Orthopedic Technology

Background:

  • Transpedicular needle placement for kyphoplasty demands high accuracy, traditionally relying on continuous X-ray guidance.
  • Increasing vertebral compression fractures necessitate more efficient and precise surgical techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate computer-assistance for optimizing transpedicular access in kyphoplasty.
  • To analyze quality improvements offered by computer-assisted orthopedic surgery (CAOS) before clinical application.

Main Methods:

  • Correlating virtual planning and intraoperative navigation with postoperative X-ray images.
  • Utilizing CT-based 3D models to compare planned trajectories with actual bone canals.
  • Assessing accuracy via needle deviation from the ideal vector and distance to the target, alongside operating time and radiation exposure.

Main Results:

  • CAOS enabled highly accurate planning and navigation, safely avoiding neural structures.
  • Needle deviation was significantly reduced compared to conventional C-arm control (1-4 degrees vs. 4-8 degrees).
  • Radiation exposure decreased by 76%, and operating time was reduced by 40%.

Conclusions:

  • CAOS procedures are effective in achieving optimal pedicular approaches, especially in complex spinal anatomy.
  • The system minimizes procedural risks, avoids collateral damage, and enhances safety.
  • High accuracy and reduced radiation exposure support the clinical adoption of fluoroscopic navigation for transpedicular instrumentation.
