Morphometric measurement of the cervical spine for minimally invasive pedicle screw fixation using reverse engineering and three ‐dimensional reconstruction

ConclusionsThe measurements of this study could provide detailed information for percutaneous cervical screw fixation. The data of the relationship between the cervical spinous process and the pedicle screw channel present valuable technical information for the design, optimization and clinical application of the aiming device for percutaneous cervical pedicle screw fixation.
