Area of Science:

  • Medical Devices
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Computed tomography (CT)-guided vertebroplasty can be complex.
  • A novel stereotactic guidance system, the "stereo-guide," was developed to simplify this procedure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a method for performing CT-guided vertebroplasty using the stereo-guide.
  • To evaluate the usability and accuracy of the stereo-guide system.

Main Methods:

  • The stereo-guide is a plastic block with protractor markings for angle and distance measurements.
  • The device is positioned on the patient, and the needle is guided through pedicles using the device's grooves.
  • Ten procedures were performed on nine patients with lumbar and thoracic pathology.

Main Results:

  • The stereo-guide system was found to be easy to use.
  • The system demonstrated accuracy in guiding the procedure.
  • No complications were reported during or after the procedures.

Conclusions:

  • The stereo-guide is a simple and user-friendly tool for CT-guided vertebroplasty.
  • Intraoperative imaging facilitated trajectory planning and cement injection monitoring.
