What Is Minimally Invasive Percutaneous Posterior Pedicle Screw Fixation Surgery?
Percutaneous pedicle screw fixation is a minimally-invasive surgical technique used to attach stabilizing metal rods to neighboring bones (vertebrae) in your spinal column. The procedure gets its name from the placement, or fixation, of the screws for these rods in structures on the targeted bones called the pedicles.
