The robotic-navigation and O-arm-based navigation techniques effectively increased the accuracy and safety of pedicle screw insertion alternative to the freehand technique in scoliosis surgery. Compared with the O-arm-based navigation technique, the robotic-navigation technique increases the mean operation time, but also increases the accuracy of pedicle screw placement. A three-dimensional scan after insertion of the K-wire may increase the accuracy of pedicle screw placement in the O-arm-based navigation technique.
