Augmented Reality Navigation System Enhances the Accuracy of Spinal Surgery Pedicle Screw Placement: A Randomized, Multicenter, Parallel‐Controlled Clinical Trial by Yichao Ma, Jiangpeng Wu, Yanlong Dong, Hongmei Tang, Xiaojun Ma

“…ABSTRACT Objective The pedicle screw insertion technique has evolved significantly, and despite the challenges of precise placement, advancements like AR‐based surgical navigation systems now offer enhanced accuracy and safety in spinal surgery by integrating real‐time, high‐resolution imaging with virtual models to aid surgeons. This study aims to evaluate the differences in accuracy between novel AR‐guided pedicle screw insertion and conventional surgery techniques. …”
