Résumé

This study examined the possible clinical utility of "parsicle screws" in securing C2 instrumentation. Ten patients' C2 vertebrae were virtually reconstructed using computer-aided design software. Pedicle, pars, and parsicle screws were virtually placed in the vertebrae. In addition to establishing the trajectory and theoretical safety of parsicle screws, this study determined that parsicle screws were significantly longer than pars screws (p = 0.005). The additional length of parsicle screws may improve construct stability. As such, parsicle screws should be examined as an alternative to pars screws in patients unable to receive C2 pedicle screws.
