Radiographic and Clinical Outcomes of Robot-Assisted Posterior Pedicle Screw Fixation: Two-Year Results from a Randomized Controlled Trial.

CONCLUSION: There were no significant differences in radiographic ASD and clinical outcomes between Robot-PSF and Conv-PSF. Thus, the advantages of robot-assisted surgery (accurate pedicle screw insertion and minimal facet joint violation) do not appear to be clinically significant.
