    Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for cervical pedicle screw placement reduces blood loss and hospital stays compared to traditional open approaches.

  • 2

    Image-guided neuronavigation enhances the accuracy of screw placement in cervical spine surgeries, potentially lowering re-operation rates.

  • 3

    The study evaluates the feasibility of MIS pedicle screw placement in subaxial cervical spine injuries and compares outcomes with open approaches.

  • 4

    Patients with unstable cervical spine injuries requiring stabilization were included, excluding those needing posterior decompression.

  • 5

    Postoperative CT scans were utilized to assess screw positioning, classified according to the Bredow classification for accuracy.
