摘要：

Study Design: Prospective database review. Objectives: Determine if use of intraoperative 3D imaging of pedicle screw position provides clinical and cost benefit. Summary of Background: Injury or reoperation from malpositioned pedicle screws in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery occurs but is increasingly considered to be a never-event. To avoid complications, intraoperative 3D imaging of screw position may be obtained. Methods: A prospective, consecutive AIS database at a high-volume pediatric spine center was examined three years before and after implementation of an intraoperative low-dose computed tomographic (CT) scan protocol. All screws were placed via freehand technique and corrected if found to be outside optimal trajectory on the postplacement CT scan. Demographic and outcome data were compared between cohorts, along with number, location, and reason for screw change. Cost analysis was based on the average cost of revision surgery for screw malposition versus intraoperative CT use. Results: There were 153 patients in the pre-CT and 153 in the post-CT cohorts with a minimum 2-year follow-up. Two reoperations were needed for revision of improper screw placement in the pre-CT group and none in the post-CT group. Number of patients needed to harm was 76 (absolute risk increase = 1.31% [–0.49%, 3.11%]). Of those who had intraoperative CT scans, 80 (52.3%) needed on average 1.75 screw trajectories/lengths changed. Forty-three percent were medial breaches; of these, 39% were in the concavity. There were no differences between patients who did and did not need screw repositioning with regard to body mass index (BMI), age, curve size, surgeon/trainee side, screw density, or preoperative and one-year postoperative Scoliosis Research Society–22 patient questionnaire (SRS-22) scores. The average cost of reoperation for malposition was $4,900, whereas the cost of a single intraoperative CT was $232. Conclusion: Intraoperative CT is an effective tool to prevent reoperation in AIS surgery for incorrect screw placement. Despite high volume, experience, and specialty training, incorrect trajectories occur and systems should be in place for preventable error.
