Robotic-assisted screw placement in spine surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial studies how well a robotic system helps surgeons place screws in the spine. It may help make the surgery more precise and safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having spine surgery that requires screws placed in your neck, upper back, lower back, or tailbone.
- You can be any age and have any spine condition.
- Your surgery must involve pedicle screws – the special screws that go into the bone of your spine.

This trial tests how accurately a robotic system helps place screws in the spine during surgery. It may benefit people who need spinal surgery that involves inserting pedicle screws.
This study compares a new computer-guided system (PathKeeper) to the usual method for placing screws in the spine during open surgery. It aims to see if the new system makes screw placement more accurate.
This study tests a robot that helps surgeons perform a type of back surgery called a laminectomy. It aims to see if the robot makes surgery safer and more effective for people with certain lower spine problems.
This trial registry collects information about kids and teens with spine deformities who are scheduled for robotic or navigation-assisted surgery (sometimes using custom rods). It may help doctors improve these advanced techniques over time.
This trial tests whether using a special 3D X-ray navigation system (O-arm) helps place screws more accurately in spine surgery. It may help people with various spine problems who are having spinal fusion.
This trial studies a specific robotic surgical system during abdominal and pelvic surgeries. It may help doctors improve how these operations are done using minimally invasive techniques (smaller cuts).
