| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Pedicle screw fixation is a surgical treatment option for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and other severe spinal deformities. This study examined the mechanical states present in surgical instruments consisting of pedicle screws and a rod using experimental and analytical research procedures. The major outcomes of this study are follows: 1) The pedicle screws on both ends of the fusion area were pushed to the vertebrae, and the adjacent pedicle screws were loaded in the extracting direction. 2) The mechanical stress placed on screws depended on their spacing and securing order. For skip pedicle screw fixation, the mechanical stress exerted on the screws was lower than that on screws inserted into consecutive vertebrae. 3) In addition, this study established a fabrication method of patient-specific vertebral models based on X-ray CT images.
