Summary OBJECTIVE:We compared the accuracy of C-arm fluoroscopy versus O-arm-assisted pedicle screw (PS) placement in the cervicothoracic spinal junction (CTSJ).METHODS:Patients who underwent PS placement in the CTSJ (C7-T4) at our hospital were included in this study. Of 37 patients who underwent PS placement in the CTSJ, 20 underwent intraoperative C-arm fluoroscopy-assisted surgery (C Group) and 17 underwent intraoperative O-arm-assisted surgery (O Group). In total, 159 PSs were placed-73 in the C Group and 86 in the O Group. The accuracy of PS placement was compared between the C Group and O Group using the classification proposed by Gertzbein and Robbins to analyze pedicle violation.RESULTS:PS accuracy was higher in the O Group than C Group; PS placement evaluated as grade A, representing no perforation, was 95.3% (82/86) for the O Group, whereas it was 78.1% (57/73) for the C Group. There was a clear statistically significant difference in accuracy of PS placement between the groups (P = 0.0013).CONCLUSIONS:O-arm-assisted surgery improved the accuracy of PS placement in the CTSJ.
