First Results of a Multi Centre Study about Reduction of X-ray Exposure due to Surgical Navigation for Pedicel Screw Placement in Spine Surgery

摘要

In the AGROP of the DGU a multi centre study was initiated to evidence the reduction of X-ray exposure for the surgeon during implementation of pedicel screws in spine surgery. The comparison was done between navigated and non navigated operations for pedicel screw placement in spine surgery. In this first part of the multi centre study of AGROP of the DGU no statistical significant differences could be shown. But important manifestations for reduction of X-ray exposure by use of navigation systems for pedicel screw placement were seen.
