Measurement of Chinese lumbar pedicles: with special reference to transpedicular screw fixation.
Thorough understanding of the morphometric parameters of the lumbar pedicles is essential for transpedicular screw fixation. The purpose of this study is to establish a database for proper spinal instrumentations in Chinese patients. ⋯ Transpedicular screw fixation should be tailored on individual basis. Though variation exists, no sufficient evidence can be found to suggest major morphometric differences of the Chinese lumbar pedicles from the studies in the English literature.
