The Use of Navigation In Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery (MIS)
Journal Title: Orthopedics Research and Traumatology – Open Journal - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Spine surgery is among the surgical specialities that is evolving tremendously and rapidly. The advancements in technology and diagnostic tools opened new era of spine surgery. The rapid growth in the implant industry delivered novel techniques, at the same time more confusion on the proper choice of surgical technique or implant. Although there is no consensus on the gold standard on many spine procedures, it’s acceptable to say that the conventional open techniques are the most widely used by spine surgeons. One of the issues of spine instrumentations is screw mal position that was as high as 42% in some reports.
