PURPOSE: To assess the feasibility of temporary pedicle screw fixation for motion preservation of @entity174 unsuitable for anterior screw. METHODS: Between 2012 and 2013, temporary pedicle screw fixation was performed in 13 @entity1 with @entity174 unsuitable for anterior screw. The @entity1 were 10 @entity1 and 3 @entity1 with an average age of 40. The implant was removed after @entity174 union. Dynamic CT was performed >= 1  month after implant removal to evaluate @entity717 and @entity717 . Literature data on @entity717 were obtained as a historical control. RESULTS: Fifty-two pedicle screws were placed successfully with satisfactory @entity174 reduction achieved in all @entity1 . The average follow-up period was 14.2  months. At a mean of 9  months after the initial operation, @entity174 union was confirmed and implants were removed. The average total @entity717 was 116.5        25.8   (78.2      14.8  % of the historical controls). The average total @entity717 was 34.2        22.0   (27.3      13.8  % of total @entity717 ). CONCLUSIONS: Temporary pedicle screw fixation is a feasible technique for motion preservation of @entity174 unsuitable for anterior screw.
