I was invited to comment on the manuscript by Blondel et al. [1] describing their experience with percutaneous spinal long-segment fixation with two commercially available systems. I believe that these systems have their (narrow) spectrum of indications and therefore this should be communicated to the community to propagate their use in a sensible manner. However, I have doubts that this article serves that purpose. On the contrary, I am convinced that it does just the opposite, by providing arguments to the opponents against their use.
