  • Publication number: 20220409279
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to plan a spinal correction surgery. The method includes measuring parameters of a spine in a two-dimensional (2D) spinal image including a thoracic Cobb angle and a thoracic kyphosis (TK) and transforming the 2D image to a three-dimensional (3D), spinal image representation. The transforming includes performing segmentation of spine elements in the 2D image, and applying a formula based on the thoracic Cobb angle and the TK to the spine elements. The method includes identifying a TK goal having a post-operative TK value to selected spine elements, transforming a gap of the spine elements representative of a difference between the pre-operative TK in 3D spinal image representation and the TK goal to create a 3D post-operative spinal image representation, and determining a first rod design based on the 3D post-operative spinal image representation to achieve the post-operative TK value in the spine elements.

  • Patent number: 10970426
    Abstract: In some embodiments, the systems, devices, and methods described herein are configured to produce a desired curvature of a customized spinal rod to support a vertebral column of a patient by analyzing a preoperative x-ray image of the vertebral column of the patient, determining a morphotype to which the vertebral column corresponds to, simulating a correction to be applied to the vertebral column, deducing a curved segment representing the desired curvature of the customized spinal rod based on the analyzed preoperative x-ray image of the vertebral column of the patient, and transmitting data related to the desired curvature of the customized spinal to a production system configured to physically produce the desired curvature of the customized spinal rod.
