Review Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Comparative clinical efficacy and safety of cortical bone trajectory screw fixation and traditional pedicle screw fixation in posterior lumbar fusion: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
To compare the clinical efficacy and safety between cortical bone trajectory (CBT) and pedicle screw (PS) in posterior lumbar fusion surgery. ⋯ Both CBT and PS achieve similar, fusion rate and revision surgery rate. Furthermore, CBT is superior to PS with lower incidence of complications, shorter operation time, less blood loss, shorter incision length and shorter length of hospital stay.
