Abstract:

Introduction: Lumbar vertebral column is exposed to various kinds of stress during locomotion. In erect posture weight transmitted through posterior part including pedicles. This causes deformities of this region as the age advances in many individuals. Proper correction of deformity is challenging. There have been advances in spinal fusion procedures and interspinous implantation of devices including pedicle screws. Use of unsuitable dimensions of screw may cause problem of destruction of pedicle. Correct metricular data of pedicle is necessary for choice of appropriate screw size. Aims and O

Object Although the anatomy of the thoracic pedicle in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is well known, that of the lumbar pedicle in degenerative lumbar scoliosis is not. The morphometric differences between the pedicles on the concave and convex sides can result in an increased risk of malpositioned pedicle screws. The purpose of this study was to analyze the lumbar pedicle morphology in degenerative lumbar scoliosis using multiplanar reconstructed CT.

Abstract:

Background  The number of patients with degenerative diseases and other causes of the lumbar spine diseases is increasing. Some of these patients are being managed operatively by spine instrumentation using pedicle screw systems. Pedicle morphometric studies are relevant for proper placement of transpedicular screws to avoid penetration of the pedicle walls. This study aimed at determining the morphometry of pedicles in the lumbar spine among adult Ugandans attending Mulago National Referral Hospital assessed using Computerized Tomography (CT) scans.    Methods Across-sectional

Background: In the dynamic part of the spinal column the lumbar vertebra are the largest vertebra that support the maximum body weight and exhibit the greatest degree of degenerative changes. Pedicles of the vertebra act as a port to perform procedures inside the bodies of the vertebra such as biopsies, vertebroplasties or kyphoplasties. Pedicle screw fixation is a technically demanding procedure. Accurate anatomical knowledge of the morphometry of vertebral pedicle are also important for preoperative procedure, planning and in the design and manufacture of pedicle screws.

<strong>Introduction:</strong> An operating surgeon can carry out these treatments more accurately and safely if they are aware of slight anatomical heterogeneity. Prior to implant implantation, general orthopedic surgery guidelines encourage templating with precise measurements. It is known that there is a significant discrepancy between both the historically recorded diameter of the outer cortical and the effective cancellous diameter, suggesting that a safe screw selection might not always be possible with the use of traditional methods. It is strongly believed by the surgeon community

Background Posterior lumbar pedicle screw instrumentation has gained a wide acceptance in the treatment of the various spinal lesions requiring fusion. Inserting screws into the pedicles take a great deal of skill, as the dense bony parts are not large, and a mistake could push a bone fragment into the spinal nerves, causing pain, loss of mobility and other damage. Aim: To investigate the histological and gross-anatomical properties of the pediculocorporal junction, which can have important clinical implications on the insertion technique of the pedicle screws. Study Design:

Congenital hypoplasia of the spinal pedicle is a rare condition. Previously reported cases were treated conservatively or with posterior instrumented fusion. However, the absence or hypoplasia of the lumbar pedicle may increase the difficulty of pedicle screw fixation and fusion. Herein, the authors describe 2 cases of rare adult congenital hypoplasia of the right lumbar pedicles associated with spondylolisthesis.

Osteoporosis is a critical challenge in orthopedic surgery. Osteoporotic patients have an increased risk of loosening and failure of implant constructs due to a weaker bone-implant interface than with healthy bone. Pullout strength of pedicle screws is enhanced by increased screw insertion depth. However, more knowledge is needed to define optimal pedicle screw insertion depth in relation to screw-bone interface biomechanics and the resulting loosening risk.

Failure of the pedicle screw at the screw-bone interface is a common clinical problem, particularly in the setting of osteoporosis, and poses reconstructive challenges for all orthopaedic surgeons. Pedicle screw failure through screw loosing and pull-out is highly correlated with bone mineral density (BMD) and local bone quality [1].
