Excerpt

A common procedure in degenerative lumbar instability is pedicle screw fixation in combination with cage lumbar interbody fusion (LIF). In 2009, the cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screw fixation as an alternative to traditional pedicle screw fixation was proposed [3]. The caudomedial entry point for CBT screws allows to limit dissection and paraspinal muscle retraction, thereby reducing the invasiveness of the approach and eventually improving outcome. …
