Biomechanical comparison of pedicle screws versus spinous process screws in C2 vertebra: A cadaveric study

BACKGROUND: Biomechanical studies have shown C2 pedicle screw to be the most robust in insertional torque and pullout strength. However, C2 pedicle screw placement is still technically challenging. Smaller C2 pedicles or medial localization of the vertebral artery may preclude safe C2 pedicle screw...
