Abstract: A pedicular percutaneous minimally invasive screw for use in connection with progressive cannulae which allows screws to be installed in a patient without necessarily cutting or destroying ligaments and muscles, the progressive cannulae going from larger to smaller diameters until the point where a perforation is made, through which the pedicular percutaneous screw enters, guided by a fine filament which precisely positions the screw in the location desired. Adjacent screws are connected via a connection bar that unites the two screws and fixes the bones of a patient's column, wherein the connecting bar is attached to the screw by a compression screw, which is threaded on the body itself.
