Surgical tips for the implantation of BDYNTM dynamic stabilization system: combining spinal navigation with motion preservation for low-grade lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis.

BACKGROUND

As required in every dynamic stabilization system, the implantation of the BDYNTM device implies a perfect positioning of the screws and rods to benefit from its biomechanical properties. To achieve this goal, intra-operative imaging seems mandatory.

METHOD: Through a case report of a patient with symptomatic grade I lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis, we present the surgical tips for the implantation of BDYNTM dynamic stabilization system under the assistance of spinal navigation Surgivisio® 2D/3D.

CONCLUSION

The pedicular screw convergence, their placement in the pedicles, and the proper alignment of the BDYNTM system placed in neutral position are important steps of the surgery. Intra-operative spinal navigation helps achieving precise and safe positioning of the dynamic stabilization BDYNTM device taking optimal advantages of its biomechanical characteristics.
