The use of cortical bone trajectory (CBT) pedicle screws for posterior fixation and fusion
seems to constitute a viable alternative for spinal procedures, with the potential to mitigate …

Lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD) in the elderly population remains a global health
problem, especially in patients with osteoporosis. Osteoporosis in the elderly can cause …

Objective The finite element method was used to investigate the biomechanical adjustments
of adjacent and fixed segments after lumbar fusion and fixation with traditional trajectory (TT) …

Study Design. A retrospective observational study. Objective. This study investigated the
clinical and radiological results of using cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screws versus …

OBJECTIVE Traditional trajectory (TT) screws are widely used in lumbar fixation. However,
they may require revision surgery in some instances, especially in patients with osteoporotic …

Background The cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screws follow a caudocephalad and lateral
path from the pedicle to the vertebral body. The bone fusion rate of CBT fixation is equal to …

Cortical bone trajectory (CBT) is widely used in orthopedic surgery to improve fixation while
minimizing soft tissue dissection. This study used radiological methods to assess the …

Pedicle screw fixation and fusion are the gold standard for the treatment of spinal instability.
Screw failures such as pullout and breakages have been reported during the past several …

Background Many studies have been conducted to compare traditional trajectory (TT) and
cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screws; however, how screw parameters affect the …

Posterior lumbar fusion is a safe and effective surgical method for diseases, such as lumbar
stenosis, spondylolisthesis, lumbar instability, spinal deformity, and tumor. Pedicle screw …
