Use of O-arm with neuronavigation in percutaneous vertebroplasty reduces the surgeon's exposure to intraoperative radiation.
Conclusions: During vertebroplasty with the O-arm combined with neuronavigation the radiation dose is significantly lower as compared with the C-arm used for fluoroscopic guidance, minimizing the potential risk of radiation exposure to surgeons.
