The use of cortical bone trajectory (CBT) pedicle screws for circumferential interbody fusion represents a viable alternative for single-level procedure with reduced invasiveness and less tissue destruction than the traditional technique. In addition, CBT screws have a potentially stronger pullout strength because of the greater amount of cortical bone intercepted. Only few series exist evaluating clinical and radiological outcomes of CBT screws.
Methods
This is a retrospective cohort study. All patients that underwent circumferential lumbar interbody fusion with CBT screws in our institution from 2014 to 2017 were reviewed. Patient demographics, clinical outcome with visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), radiological data such as fusion, lordosis and muscle trauma, operative blood loss, hospital stay and use of fluoroscopy were evaluated.
Results
A total of 101 patients undergoing CBT-arthrodesis for degenerative lumbo-sacral disease were reviewed. Mean procedural time was 187 min. The mean operative blood loss and X-ray dose per procedure was 383 ml and 1.60 mg cm2, respectively. The mean hospital stay was 3.47 days. The mean follow-up was 18.23 months. Mean lordosis increment at the treated level was 4.2°. When the follow-up was longer than 12 months (53% of patients), fusion was obtained in 94% of cases. Mean ODI and VAS index improved with statistical significance.
Conclusions
This is to our knowledge that the largest available study regarding CBT for circumferential arthrodesis. Results underlined the safety of this technique and the promising clinical and radiological outcomes that will need a longer follow-up.

Ein Frauenanteil von mindestens einem Drittel im ärztlichen Op.-Team war in einer großen retrospektiven Studie aus Kanada mit einer signifikanten Reduktion der postoperativen Morbidität assoziiert.
Sie sei „ethisch geboten“, meint Gesundheitsminister Karl Lauterbach: mehr Transparenz über die Qualität von Klinikbehandlungen. Um sie abzubilden, lässt er gegen den Widerstand vieler Länder einen virtuellen Klinik-Atlas freischalten.
Gesundheitsminister Lauterbach hat die vom Bundeskabinett beschlossene Klinikreform verteidigt. Kritik an den Plänen kommt vom Marburger Bund. Und in den Ländern wird über den Gang zum Vermittlungsausschuss spekuliert.
Der Einsatz von Operationsrobotern für den Einbau von Totalendoprothesen des Kniegelenks hat die Präzision der Eingriffe erhöht. Für die postoperative Zufriedenheit der Patienten scheint das aber unerheblich zu sein, wie eine Studie zeigt.
