Superior biomechanical stability of pedicle screws compared to lateral mass screws: recommendations for bicortical positioning and enhancing bone contact in geriatric C1 vertebrae

Superior biomechanical stability of pedicle screws compared to lateral mass screws: recommendations for bicortical positioning and enhancing bone contact in geriatric C1 vertebrae

Abstract Background In atlantoaxial instabilities, posterior C1/C2 fusion using lateral mass screws (LMS) or pedicle screws (PS) in a mono- or bicortical position in the atlas is a typical treatment. The bone microstructure and positioning of the screw trajectories appear to be of significant releva...
