Abstract

Spinal fixation with transpedicular screw instrumentation has come a long way in the last four decades. Ever since the first description of transpedicular screws with posterior plates in 1970 by Roy-Camille, who reported on his experience with the technique since 1963, a substantial amount of research has gone into improvement of the hardware and refinement of operative technique and indications [1].
