    Arm Description

    Patients randomized into this group will have pedicle screws placed with the aid of patient specific surgical guides.

    Patients randomized into this group will have pedicle screws placed with conventional navigation.

    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Screw trajectory deviation
    Measured as the angle in degrees deviated from the planned trajectory
    Screw start point deviation
    Measured as distance in millimeters from the planed start point.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Pedicle Breach
    Number, location and severity of any pedicle breaches
    Adverse Event Rate & Serious Adverse Events
    Measured intra-operatively and post-operatively
    Guide Reliability
    The reliability of patient specific guides will be measured as the number of cases that used the guides divided by the total number of cases in which guides were planned to be used.

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    This is a single centre, non-blinded safety trial. Patients undergoing lumbar fusion will be treated using patient specific guides (PSG) or navigation. Patients requiring lumbar fusion will be treated using conventional surgical methods except when inserting pedicle screws, where half of the patients will be having screws inserted using PSGs. The conventional method of navigation and intraoperative imaging will be used in conjunction with PSGs, to confirm the safety of the guide trajectory. The primary outcome will be screw accuracy measured in degrees from planned trajectory and mm from the planned entry point.
