Background Conventional spinal navigation solutions have been criticized for having a
negative impact on time in the operating room and workflow. AR navigation could potentially …

Purpose This review provides an overview of the patent literature on posteriorly placed
intrapedicular bone anchors. Conventional pedicle screws are the gold standard to create a …

Glial tumors grow diffusely in the brain. Survival is correlated to the extent of tumor removal,
but tumor borders are often invisible. Resection beyond the borders as defined by …

Background and Objectives: Posterior C1–C2 fixation, with trans-articular screws (TAS) or
screw-rod-construct (SRC), is the main surgical technique for atlantoaxial instability, and can …

Background Endovascular thrombectomy has revolutionized the management of acute
ischemic stroke and proven superior to stand-alone intravenous thrombolysis for large …

Accuracy in spinal fusion varies greatly depending on the experience of the physician. Real-
time tissue feedback with diffuse reflectance spectroscopy has been shown to provide …

Significance: Orthopedic surgery currently comprises over 1.5 million cases annually in the
United States alone and is growing rapidly with aging populations. Emerging optical sensing …

Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS) can provide tissue feedback for pedicle screw
placement in spine surgery, yet the integration of fiber optics into the tip of the pedicle probe …

The demographic shift has increased the demand for surgical interventions to address age-
related degenerative diseases, such as spinal fusion. Accurate placement of pedicle screws …

Pedicle screws have long been established as the gold standard for spinal bone fixation.
However, their fixation strength can be compromised in cases of low bone density …
