Accuracy of Pedicle Screw Placement in the Thoracic and Lumbosacral Spine Using a Conventional Intraoperative Fluoroscopy-Guided Technique: A National Neurosurgical Education and Training Center Analysis of 1236 Consecutive Screws

The data presented confirm that for a training and education center, transpedicular fluoroscopy-guided screw fixation remains a technically demanding procedure. As defined in this study, neurological symptoms are likely associated only with severe screw misplacement.
