Is a cross-connector beneficial for single level traditional or cortical bone trajectory pedicle screw instrumentation?

Is a cross-connector beneficial for single level traditional or cortical bone trajectory pedicle screw instrumentation?

The cortical bone trajectory (CBT) has been introduced with the aim of better screw hold, however, screw-rod constructs with this trajectory might provide less rigidity in lateral bending (LB) and axial rotation (AR) compared to the constructs with the traditional trajectory (TT). Therefore, the add...
