Abstract:

Introduction: Pedicle screw loosening is a major problem in spine surgery. Computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard to diagnose screw loosening. Disadvantages of CT include low sensitivity and specificity for the detection of loosened screws as well as the need for radiation exposure. The aim of this study was …
