Abstract

With the rapid increase in the use of thoracic pedicle screws in scoliosis accurate and safe placement of screw within the pedicle is a crucial step during the scoliosis surgery To make thoracic pedicle screw placement safer various techniques are used Patientspecific drill template with preplanned trajectory has been thought as a promising solution it is critical to assess the efficacy safety profile with this technique In this paper we develop and validate the accuracy and safety of thoracic transpedicular screw placement with patientspecific drill template technique in scoliosis Patients with scoliosis requiring instrumentation were recruited Volumetric CT scan was performed on each desired thoracic vertebra and a 3D reconstruction model was generated from the CT scan data The optimal screw size and orientation were determined and a drill template was designed with a surface that is the inverse of the posterior vertebral surface The drill template and its corresponding vertebra were manufactured using rapid prototyping technique and tested for violations The navigational template was sterilized and used intraoperatively to assist with the placement of thoracic screws After surgery the positions of the pedicle screws were evaluated using CT scan and graded for validation This method showed its ability to customize the placement and the size of each pedicle screw based on the unique morphology of the thoracic vertebra In all the cases it was relatively very easy to manually place the drill template on the lamina of the vertebral body during the surgery This method significantly reduces the operation time and radiation exposure for the members of the surgical team making it a practical simple and safe method The potential use of such a navigational template to insert thoracic pedicle screws in scoliosis is promising The use of surgical navigation system successfully reduced the perforation rate and insertion angle errors demonstrating the clear advantage in safe and accurate pedicle screw placement of scoliosis surgery
