Prepare seat for pedicle hook
Prepare the pedicle with the USS pedicle feeler (1). Place the
pedicle feeler between the inferior and superior articular
facets. Ensure that the feeler is placed in the articular space
and not in the bone of the inferior facet.
To facilitate the insertion of the pedicle hook, remove a small
portion of the inferior facet with an osteotome (2). There
are six marks on the pedicle feeler; once the last one has
been reached, sufficient bone has been removed to position
the hook about the pedicle.
Move the feeler in a lateral and cranial direction to check for
the optimum position. Do not push medially.
Remove the pedicle feeler.
