This meta-analysis found that navigation significantly improves pedicle screw placement accuracy in spinal surgery. However, this advantage was not observed at thoracic levels, regardless of the study population.

Area of Science:

  • Spinal surgery
  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Safety concerns necessitate accurate pedicle screw placement.
  • Variability in reported accuracy may stem from non-standardized assessment methods.
  • Lack of consensus on satisfactory accuracy ranges impacts interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Identify and evaluate postoperative methods for assessing pedicle screw placement.
  • Determine the most common assessment technique.
  • Synthesize pedicle screw placement accuracy statistics from published literature.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a meta-analysis of published literature (1966-2006) on pedicle screw placement accuracy.
  • Performed MEDLINE searches and reviewed reference lists.

  • Constructed a database, analyzing subgroups by population (in vivo/cadaveric) and navigation use.

    • Main Results:

    • Analyzed 130 studies, encompassing 37,337 pedicle screws; 91.3% were accurately placed.
    • The most frequent assessment method classified screw violations as present or absent.
    • Median accuracy was higher with navigation (95.2%) versus without (90.3%).

    Conclusions:

    • Navigation generally enhances pedicle screw placement accuracy across subgroups.
    • No accuracy advantage was found with navigation at thoracic levels for either in vivo or cadaveric populations.
