Background: Navigated instrumented spine surgery is burden by a low but significant screw mispositioning risks, respectively, for the 2D imaging system from 15% to 40% and, for the 3D imaging system, ranging from 4.1% to 11.5%. The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy of a new screw-like tool in order to further decrease pedicle screws mispositioning rate during vertebral navigated spine surgery.
Methods: Between January and June 2019 an initial case series of 18 patients were enrolled. All patients underwent a pedicle screw fixation, both in thoracic (Th10-Th12) and lumbosacral (L1-S1) spine, using O-arm (Medtronic Navigation, Louisville, CO, USA) and StealthStation S7 surgical navigation system (Medtronic Navigation). Evaluation of pedicle screws placement accuracy using the new tool in adjunct to the classic reference frame, was performed following the Gertzbein and Robbins classification.
Results: A total of 94 screws have been placed. Among them, 98.9% were completely inside cortical bone (grade A) and only 1.1% with a breach of less than 2 mm (grade B).
Conclusions: Our new "screw-like" tool coupled to the classic reference frame device could improve accuracy during navigated spine surgery and potentially reducing to zero the risks for screw mispositioning.

Introduction: Advanced imaging techniques, such as C-arm fluoroscopy, O-arm, and CT navigation, are integral to achieving precision in orthopedic surgeries. However, these technologies also expose patients, surgeons, and operating room staff to varying levels of radiation. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate the radiation exposure (RE) associated with these imaging modalities and their impact on surgical outcomes.

Background: Hereditary Multiple Osteochondromas (HMO), previously known as Multiple Hereditary Exostoses (MHE), is a genetic disorder characterized by the formation of multiple, benign, exostoses (osteochondromas) growing from the metaphyseal region of long bones as well as from the axial skeleton. Lesions originating from the lumbar spine region are rare, and are most common growing from the posterior element of the vertebrae. HMO associated osteochondromas are difficult to treat due to continuous and incontrollable growth of these lesions and a lifetime risk for malignant transformation.

Background: Navigation increases the precision and safety of pedicle screw placement and has been used to place interbody cages for lateral lumbar interbody fusion. Single-position surgery shortens its duration and that of anesthesia. The aim of this study was the feasibility of simultaneous cage and screw placement in a single prone position using intraoperative navigation without the need for additional fluoroscopy and a detailed technical description of this procedure.
