Percutaneous Transpedicular Fixation: Technical tips and Pitfalls of Sextant and Pathfinder Systems.

CONCLUSIONS: Fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous pedicular screws are feasible and can be safely done. Current systems allow multi-segmental fixation with significantly less difficulties. The described techniques have acceptable intra- and postoperative complication rates, and overall sufficient pain control with early mobilization of patients. PMID: 26949466 [PubMed]
