Segmental Pedicle Screwing for Idiopathic Scoliosis Using Computer-assisted Surgery

Abstract

In the navigation group, a tendency to lateral perforation at the concave side and medial perforation at the convex side was noted, like in the control group. Use of the navigation system significantly reduced the screw misplacement rate for rotated vertebrae as compared with the control group. Separate registration is recommended for rotated vertebrae when possible.
