ABSTRACT:

Objectives of the surgery

The aim of this operation technique is to bridge the pathological fracture of a vertebral body by a dorsal spondylodesis, to stabilize the spine, reduce the pain and regain mobility.

Contraindications

No specific contraindications.

Surgical technique

Technical set-up: Robotic Suite (Brainlab, Munich, Germany) with navigation unit "curve navigation system", robotic 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) "Loop-X", robotic arm "Cirq Arm System" and wall-mounted monitor "BUZZ". Operation steps are shown in th
