INVENTIVE EXAMPLE 2
[0103] A preferred example of a use of the present invention is a method in which, in advance of surgical implantation, automated pre-screening of a three-dimensional bent shape is performed, including a determination of placement in the patient of the three-dimensional bent shape with reference to cooperating hardware placed, or to be placed, in the patient.
[0104] An example of cooperating hardware placed, or to be placed, in the patient is a pedicle screw, which is medical hardware conventionally in use, such as pedicle screw used in spinal surgery. An example of a three-dimensional bent shape is a bent spinal rod. The pedicle screws are used in attaching the spinal rod to the patient's body. In the invention, placing the bent spinal rod in the patient may be assisted by an inventive article that cooperates with the pedicle screw, such as a cap for the pedicle screw. An example of an inventive pedicle screw cap is a pedicle screw cap, comprising an article havi...
