A vertebral facet distractor intended to be positioned between first and second articular facets in an articular facet joint to provide distraction between the first and second articular facets includes an elongated generally cylindrical contour including opposed top and bottom surfaces, an outer sidewall, an inner sidewall, and a central lumen that defines an opening in the bottom surface. The outer sidewall is provided with a surface irregularity to promote bone fusion when the vertebral facet distractor is positioned between the first and second articular facets in the articular facet joint.

The application provides a spine screw placement preoperative planning quality control method, an electronic device and a computer storage medium. By constructing boundary models of key risk objects such as pedicle cortex, spinal canal, intervertebral foramen and superior articular facet joint surface, combining preoperative screw placement planning data to calculate quantitative indicators such as minimum safety distance, predicted breaking amount and breaking direction, and inputting structured feature vectors and local image features of the planning channel into a risk assessment model to output risk assessment results, the safety hazards of screw placement can be accurately identified for complex cases such as pedicle morphology variation, degeneration or deformity. At the same time, the deficiencies of the existing planning system, such as the lack of quantitative quality control and grading early warning mechanism, can be made up. High-risk planning schemes can be prompted in time, and objective basis for path correction can be provided, so as to improve the accuracy, safety and standardization of spine screw placement preoperative planning.
