TLDR
The results suggest that using 6-mm screws can violate the cortex of the pedicles in a significant number of levels of the upper lumber spine of a Korean.Abstract:
Study DesignThe shape and size of the pedicles of the human spine differs within different races. The authors studied the diameters and angles of the spine pedicle from the T1 to Ls levels in Koreans. The following measurements were made 1) transverse diameter, 2) superoinferior diameter, 3) anteropread more

The use of pedicle-screw internal fixation for the operative treatment of spinal disorders.
TL;DR: The Funnel Technique provides a straightforward, direct, and inexpensive way to very safely apply pedicle screws in the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine.

In vivo accuracy of thoracic pedicle screws
TL;DR: The accuracy of thoracic screw placement within the pedicle and vertebral body and the resultant transverse screw angle (TSA) were assessed by postoperative CT and the incidence of fully contained screws was directly correlated with the region of instrumentedThoracic spine.

Pedicle screw fixation in spinal disorders: A European view
Norbert Boos,John K. Webb +1 more
TL;DR: This review argues that European spine surgeons should begin to back up the evident benefits of pedicle screw systems for specific spinal disorders by controlled prospective clinical trials, which may prevent forthcoming medical licensing authorities from restricting the use of pedicular screw devices and dictating the practice of spinal surgery in Europe in the near future.

Percutaneous endoscopic approach for highly migrated intracanal disc herniations by foraminoplastic technique using rigid working channel endoscope.
Gun Choi,Sang-Ho Lee,Pramod Lokhande,Byoung Joon Kong,Chan Shik Shim,Byungjoo Jung,Jin-Sung Kim +6 more
TL;DR: Foraminoplastic-PELD is safe and effective procedure for surgical treatment of soft migrated herniations and the results are comparable to results of open discectomy.

Pedicle morphology in thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: is pedicle fixation an anatomically viable technique?
Michael F O’Brien,Lawrence G. Lenke,Steven Mardjetko,Thomas G. Lowe,Yinong Kong,Kevin R. Eck,David M. Smith +6 more
TL;DR: Based on the data identified in this group of adolescent patients, it is reasonable to consider pedicle screw insertion at most levels and pedicle-rib fixation at all levels of the thoracic spine during the treatment ofThoracic AIS.
