Background: Spinal deformities can either be uniplanar or multiplanar. The current study aims to compare mal-positioned pedicle screw assessment on radiographs versus CT in children <12 years with multiplanar and uniplanar spinal deformities. Methods: A cohort of 15 children, mean age 10.1 years, who underwent posterior spinal fusion using free-hand pedicle screw insertion for multiplanar (M) or uniplanar (U) deformities with post-operative radiograph and CT evaluation of 154 screws. The outcome measures included the assessment of malpositions detected on plain radiographs versus CT scans in U and M deformities. The overall breaches in post-operative plain radiographs and CT in each group were compared and analyzed by two independent observ...
