Pullout strength of reinserted pedicle screws using the previous entry point and trajectory
PURPOSE: This study compared the biomechanics of reinserted pedicle screws using the previous entry point and trajectory with those of correctly inserted pedicle screws. METHODS: The study used 18 lumbar vertebrae (L1–6) from three fresh calf spines to insert 6.5 × 40-mm pedicle screws. A control sc...

description | PURPOSE: This study compared the biomechanics of reinserted pedicle screws using the previous entry point and trajectory with those of correctly inserted pedicle screws. METHODS: The study used 18 lumbar vertebrae (L1–6) from three fresh calf spines to insert 6.5 × 40-mm pedicle screws. A control screw was inserted correctly along the axis of one pedicle, while an experimental screw was reinserted completely using the previous entry point and trajectory in the other pedicle. The experimental screw was removed after being completely inserted in group A and after 80% of the total trajectory inserted in group B. And the experimental screw was removed after 60% of the total trajectory was reached in group C. The biomechanical values of the pedicle screws were measured. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in pedicle screw axial pullout strength between reinserted screws and correct screws in the 3 groups (P(A) = 0.463, P(B) = 0.753, P(C) = 0.753). Stiffness measurement increased for the reinserted screw compared with that of the control screw. Fracturing was observed between the vertebral body and pedicle. CONCLUSION: Theoretically, a surgeon can remove the pedicle screw when necessary, inspect the trajectory, and reinsert the screw using the previous entry point and trajectory. |
