ABSTRACT

Pediculer Screw Malposition in Fractures of Lumbar Vertebrae Transpedicular screw method is common used in various spinal disorders. In this study, we observed retrospectively 36 patients who treated because of lumbar vertebrae fracture between 2000-2002. The position of pedicular screws are evaluated with postoperative computerized tomography. We decided that by using computer assisted technique the ratio of screw malposition could be diminished.
