Clinical Outcomes With Midline Cortical Bone Trajectory Pedicle Screws Versus Traditional Pedicle Screws in Moving Lumbar Fusions From Hospitals to Outpatient Surgery Centers

We successfully transitioned our lumbar fusions from hospitals to OSCs using a midline CBT pedicle screw technique. Although traditional pedicle screw placement is effective and may be viable in an OSC, we see more advantages to use midline cortical screws over traditional pedicle screws.

Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion in Ambulatory Surgery Centers

Fusion was achieved in all patients and there was no evidence of implant failure or subsidence. Complications were transient in both settings. We conclude that outpatient LLIF improves patients' outcomes with similar safety profile as the hospital setting.

Faceticle Screw Fixation: A Modified Cortical Bone Trajectory Construct Incorporating Caudal Transfacet Pedicle Screw Fixation - Technical Note and Illustrative Application

Kingsley R Chin 1, Vito Lore PE, Angel Walker II, Sukanya Chebrolu, Jason A Seale

We describe Faceticle screw fixation, the first reported modified CBT construct that combines standard cephalad CBT screws with a caudal transfacet pedicle screw for direct facet stabilization.
