Background Cervical pedicle screw has been shown to provide
excellent mechanical strength. Abumi et al
Screw misplacement leads to injury of the spinal cord, root, and vertebral artery.
Kobe Red Cross Hospital
Studies recommend navigation-assisted surgery for cervical pedicle screw fixation in order to prevent complications and increase accuracy.
Limitations of conventional CT-based navigation system
Kobe Red Cross Hospital
Special markers or anatomic landmarks are needed.
Manual matching (registration) is subject to poten
tial errors and time-consuming.
Repeated and segmented registration must be needed for each vertebra.
Changes in the anatomy cannot be detected intra-operatively.

Iso-C 3D with navigation system
No manual registration !
Entire spine is matched to navi. images !
3D images of intraoperative anatomy can be detected ! Real Time Navigation !!
Objectives
Kobe Red Cross Hospital
To evaluate prospectively the accuracy, feasibility, advantages and applications of intra-operative Iso-C 3D
in cervical spinal surgery
Kobe Red Cross Hospital
Patients and Methods
290 cases
131:cervical, 126:thoracolumbar, 33:pelvic trauma
Pedicle Screws 1435 screws cervical : 553 screws, thoracolumbar: 882 screws Lateral mass screws 86 screwsOdontoid screws 6 screws Iliac screws 112 screwsIliosacral screws 10 screws
Kobe Red Cross Hospital
Grade 1: screw threads cut into the cortex Grade 2: screw perforation of the cortex by up to 2 mmGrade 3: screw perforation of the cortex by more than 2 mm
Grade 1 Grade 3
Post-operative evaluation of pedicle screws (Thin-cut CT, 1.25mm)
Grade 2 and Grade 3 regarded as misplacements
Kobe Red Cross Hospital
Grade 2 ( < 2 mm): 10 screws 22 screwsGrade 3 ( > 2 mm): 4 screws 7 screws
Cortical perforation up to 2 mm
cervical
43 / 1435 screws ( 3.0 %)
thoracolumbar
No deterioration in the initial neurological statusNo injured or irritated nerve rootNo vascular injury
Results – pedicle screw
Kobe Red Cross Hospital
The patient is positioned on a non-metallic carbon table to maximize image quality and to minimize artifacts.
Clinical workflow in registration-free 3D navigation surgery
A reference arc is placed on a spinous processCarbon table and Mayfield cramp
Kobe Red Cross Hospital
It takes 120 seconds to obtain and reconstruct the 3D data.
Kobe Red Cross Hospital
The image data is transferred directly to the navigation system.
The screw trajectory is prepared using a cervical awl by Kotani et al

Advantages of Iso-C 3D C-arm
Kobe Red Cross Hospital
1. Accurate correlation between 3D
images and current patient anatomy2. Navigational support based on
updated image data
Educational tool for mastering surgical techniqueApplicable to minimally invasive surgery

Disadvantages and Pitfalls
(Iso-C3D , navigation surgery) • Image quality• Cost Navigation system, Iso-C3D, Carbon bed, Mayfield headholder• Operating staff for navigation surgery • Mechanical or Human error Interference between reference arc and probe Blurring of navigation images Eye movement between the operative field and monitor
Kobe Red Cross Hospital
Conclusions
Registration-free navigation surgery with the Iso-C was successfully used in 100 consecutive initial patients with cervical lesions
Intraoperative 3D navigation showed significant advance in the safety and accuracy of operative procedures. This system will assist in performing truly minimally invasive surgeries.
