Intralaminar Screw Placement
Lewis SJ et al, Spine 2009

A curved pedicle probe is directed along the axis
of the lamina with the curved tip aimed dorsally.
(1) The trajectory is kept slightly less than the
down slope of the lamina.
(2) The screw is placed entirely within the
cortical bone.
(3) A- Axis of the lamina, B - ideal trajectory.
