However, these images contain limited anatomical information and no information on bone volume contact by the implanted screw, which has been proven to affect the stability of implanted screws. This study proposed a novel drilled surface imaging technique that displays anatomical integration properties to calculate the contact bone volume (CBV) of the screws implanted along an implantation trajectory. A cylinder was used to represent the area traversed by the screws, which was manually rotated and translated to a predetermined implantation trajectory according to a vertebra model obtained using computed tomography (CT) image volumes. The drilled surface image was reconstructed by interpolating the CT numbers at the predefined sampling points on the cylinder surface. The anatomical integration property and CBV of the screw implanted along the transpedicular trajectory (TT) and cortical bone trajectory (CBT) were evaluated and compared. The drilled surface image fully revealed the contact anatomical structure of the screw under the trajectories, improving the understanding of the anatomical integration of the screw and surrounding tissues. On average, the CBV of the CBT was 30% greater than that of the TT. The proposed drilled surface image may be applied in preoperative planning and integrated into intraoperative navigation systems to evaluate the anatomical integration and degree of bone contact of the screw implanted along a trajectory.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0282737","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,10]],"date-time":"2023-04-10T17:28:19Z","timestamp":1681147699000},"page":"e0282737","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Evaluating the contact anatomy and contact bone volume of spinal screws using a novel drilled surface image"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Yun-Xuan","family":"Tang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shin-Lei","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yi-Wen","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hsiang-Ming","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8554-9136","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Cheng-Ting","family":"Shih","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,10]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"pone.0282737.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"210","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-199701150-00016","article-title":"Adding posterior lumbar interbody fusion to pedicle screw fixation and posterolateral fusion after decompression in spondylolytic spondylolisthesis","volume":"22","author":"SI Suk","year":"1997","journal-title":"Spine"},{"key":"pone.0282737.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"45","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-198602000-00006","article-title":"Segmental spine plates with pedicle screw fixation.
