Computerized Tomographic Morphometric Study Of Last Thoracic And All Lumbar Pedicles In The Indian Population Related To Pedicle Screw Fixation
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Traumatology & Surgical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Transpedicular fixation of the spine with pedicular screws is becoming increasingly popular being more stable and versatile as it provides three dimensional fixations. Several systems of internal fixation that uses the pedicle as a source of purchase for bone screws from posterior approach into the vertebral body are currently available .A data was collected by CT scan measurement of the pedicles along with 8 of its parameters and were compare with other associated studies with a collection of a mixed group of 80 patients .This data were then used to verify the accuracy of the technique that radiologist and surgeons must used for preoperative of evolution .This study indicates that computer software were aided pedicular morphometric data are reliable and comparable to other published study with other methods. For the Indian population the diameter and length of the pedicle screw need to be smaller than those mentioned in western studies. Therefore the need of CT morphometric data assessment preoperative planning of spinal surgery at different spinal level is important in account of large variation so that intra and postoperative complication can be avoided.
