Spine, 10/22/09
Yilmaz G et al. – The biomechanical stability of the same size screws inserted at the expanded and nonexpanded pedicles are the same after 3 months. Even dilation of the pedicle decreases the pullout strength of the screw at the beginning, and the pull out strength of both sides became equal after 3 months. The remodeling capacity of pedicles and overgrowth of bone on screws may have an effect on this result.
