The current study's results could confirm the use of the present AR-supported system for navigated pedicle screw placement for dorsal instrumentation in clinical routine. It provides a reliable and safe tool for 3D imaging-based pedicle screw placement, only requires a minimal intraoperative setup, and provides new opportunities by integrating AR.
