Factors Affecting the Accuracy of Pedicle Screw Placement in Robot-Assisted Surgery: A Multi-Center Study.

ABSTRACT:

Study design

Retrospective Multi-Center.

Objective

To investigate the factors involved in, and their relative contributions to, the overall accuracy of robot-assisted pedicle screw placement.

Summary of background data

Robot-assisted surgery has reportedly resulted in greater accuracy for placement of pedicle screws than conventional methods. There are many potential factors affecting the accuracy of pedicle screws placed with a robot. No study has investigated these factors in a robust way.

Methods

Radiographic and clinical data of three centers were pooled. Pre- and post-operative computerized tomographies were obtained by all three centers to assess the accuracy of the placed screws. The primary outcome measured was accuracy of pedicle screws placed with the
