Summary

Background: Different methods for lumbar pedicular screw insertion have been advocated, however each technique has its cons and pros. Due to limited resources for O-Arm and navigation in our locality, the investigator was enforced to use the surgical skills to minimize the need for such advanced modalities.

Aim of the study: Is to clarify the benefits of the use of free hand technique using direct visualization of the pedicles and disc space as the only guide for pedicular screw insertion using postoperative CT for evaluation of the accuracy of pedicle screw insertion.

Patients and methods: One hundred and forty four screws were inserted in 32 patients using direct pedicle visualization and disc space orientation as a single intraoperative reference guide. The study was conducted in Zagazig University Hospitals from May, 2014 to June, 2015. CT was done for all patients as a direct postoperative evaluation tool.

PROCEDURE

pedicle screw fixation

One hundred forty four screws were placed in the lumbosacral pedicles of 32 patients using free hand technique depending on direct visualization of the pedicles, roots, and intervertebral disc ( IVD) after doing full laminectomy, then postoperative CT was done for evaluation of pedicle violation.
