Department of Orthopaedics, Division of Pediatrics and Adolescent Orthopaedic Surgery and Division of Spine Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO.
Introduction: Since the development of pedicle screw fixation in the spine, safe placement has remained a crucial component in maximizing patient outcomes and mitigating pedicle screw-related complications. The purpose of this study is to investigate the utility of pedicle tapping in identifying pedicle breaches.
Methods: A pediatric spine surgery database was queried to identify a consecutive series of patients who underwent spinal deformity surgery utilizing pedicle screw fixation between May 2019 and October 2022.
