Problems solved by technology

[0003] Current tools limit surgeons' ability to quickly and accurately assess the intraoperative alignment of their patients' spines, especially after the spine has been manipulated during correction
Additionally, most prior art options introduce or rely on excessive radiation exposure, inadequate visualization of anatomical landmarks of interest, and prolonged disruption to surgical workflow

Embodiment 5700

[0453] Some embodiments include a 3D tracked manually implanted rod bending system that enables tracking of the bending of a rod that has been implanted within a surgical site. In this example, after the previous discussion on Figure 52A-Figure 52D , Figure 53A-Figure 53F and Figure 54A-Figure 54B After the mechanism described in has registered the profile of the implant rod, the user interfaces with the implant rod using a DRF-tracked and trigger-equipped in-situ bender. For example, according to some embodiments of the invention, some embodiments include a DRF tracked and trigger equipped in situ bender coupled to a rod. In some embodiments, two tracked in situ benders, each equipped with a unique tracked DRF, can be engaged with a pre-registered rod interface after implantation to change its contour. As the tracked in situ bender interfaces with the registered rod, its position relative to the registered rod can be displayed via a display monitor. Furthermore, since ...

Embodiment 7300

[0517] Figure 73A-Figure 73B An embodiment of the invention is shown that includes explaining the rod profile by interfacing with the rod centering fork, as previously described in relation to Figure 47B , Figure 51D-Figure 51I and Figure 53A-Figure 53F and Figure 54A-Figure 54D mentioned. The acquisition system calculations are based on the calculated distance from the bifurcation point of the fork to the cross-sectional center point of the rod when the rod of known diameter is fully engaged with the fork of known geometry. E.g, Figure 73A An embodiment of the invention 7300 is shown comprising a rod centering fork (7315) on the end of the tool shaft (7305) with a tracked DRF (not shown) attached, at point C The bifurcation (7310) at and interfaces with the tool shaft (7311). In this configuration, the tool does not trigger the acquisition system to record the coordinates of the tool because the fork is not fully engaged with the rod (ie the rod is not close to bo...

Abstract

Some embodiments include a system and method of analyzing and providing a patient's spinal alignment information and therapeutic device data. In some embodiments, the system and / or method can obtaining initial patient data, and acquire spinal alignment contour information. In some embodiments, the system and / or method can assess localized anatomical features of the patient, and obtain anatomical region data. In some embodiments, the system and / or method can analyze the localized anatomy and therapeutic device location and contouring. In some embodiments, the system and / or method can output localized anatomical analyses and therapeutic device contouring data on a display.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 528,390, filed July 3, 2017, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0003] Current tools limit the surgeon's ability to quickly and accurately assess the intraoperative alignment of his patient's spine, especially after the spine has been manipulated during correction. Additionally, most prior art options introduce or rely on excessive radiation exposure, inadequate visualization of anatomical landmarks of interest, and prolonged interruptions to surgical workflow. Contents of the invention [0004] Some embodiments include a method of analyzing and providing spinal alignment information and treatment device data for a patient. In some embodiments, the method may include obtaining initial patient data, and obtaining spinal alignment profile information. In some embodiments, the method may include assessing top...
