Area of Science:

  • Spinal surgery
  • Orthopedic biomechanics
  • Surgical planning software

Background:

  • Spinal internal fixation commonly uses pedicle screws and connecting rods across all spinal segments.
  • Existing methods focus on single vertebral screw trajectory planning, neglecting multi-level constraints and screw-rod joint systems.
  • Multi-level vertebral fixation requires integrated planning for screw placement and rod connection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a screw trajectory planning method for multi-level spinal fixation.
  • To incorporate multi-level vertebral constraints and individual vertebral safety tolerances into screw placement.
  • To consider the screw-rod joint system for enhanced surgical planning.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a cylindrical screw safe passage model instead of a single optimal trajectory.
  • Included a flexible screw cap accessibility model.
  • Modeled the connecting rod to accommodate spine contour and ensure gripping capacity.
  • Validated the method using retrospective clinical data from normal spines.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method achieved an 88% success rate for screw placement without pedicle cortex breach, and 100% for clinical class A quality.
  • Existing single-level methods achieved 86.1% and 99.1% success rates, respectively.
  • Expert evaluation confirmed that the planned screw trajectories and connecting rod met clinical implantation requirements.

Conclusions:

  • The novel screw planning approach optimizes multi-level vertebral fixation.
  • This method is feasible and offers advantages over single-vertebral approaches for clinical application.
