Abstract: Rod bending instruments, systems, and methods thereof are associated with robotic and navigated bending of a rod for spinal surgeries. A system for bending a spinal rod includes a rod bending assembly and an automatic or navigated feeding system. The rod bending assembly includes a bender box having a fixed coupling member and an actuated coupling member. A rod cutter is attachable to the fixed coupling member and a bending mandrel is attachable to the actuated coupling member, for example, over a sterile drape. The automatic or navigated feeding system is configured to feed a spinal rod into the rod bending assembly to bend and contour the spinal rod into a complex three-dimensional shape.

Abstract: A surgical planning system can be configured to automatically determine a parameter associated with an anatomical feature. The surgical planning system can include processing circuitry and memory coupled to the processing circuitry. The memory can have instructions stored therein that are executable by the processing circuitry to cause the surgical planning system to perform operations. The operations can include receiving an image of the anatomical feature. The operations can further include detecting a landmark associated with the anatomical feature within the image. The operations can further include determining the parameter associated with the anatomical feature based on the landmark. The operations can further include outputting an indication of the parameter associated with the anatomical feature.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods thereof for assessing patient specific data. A system for preoperatively assessing a patient may include a wearable device, such as a vest having a plurality of segmented compartments configured to apply force(s) onto the patient's spine, a pump connected to the vest and configured to inflate the compartments of the vest, and a computer for receiving patient specific data from the vest. The force(s) and resulting displacement to the spine may be measured and used to calculate the stiffness of the spine, range of motion, flexibility, or other biomechanical information for the patient.
