Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 18:
19. A method comprising:
obtaining at least one image of a subject, wherein the at least one image is an X-ray image, a computed tomography image, a magnetic resonance imaging image, or a biplanar X-ray image;
obtaining, from the at least one image, a set of anatomical positions of at least two vertebrae of the subject;
determining a musculoskeletal model of a subject based on the set of anatomical positions, wherein the musculoskeletal model defines muscle force data, a sagittal curvature profile, a coronal curvature profile, and one or more spinal parameters;
receiving one or more simulated spinal correction inputs corresponding to a surgical procedure;
predicting a simulated postoperative surgical correction for the subject based on the received one or more simulated spinal correction inputs and the musculoskeletal model;
providing the determined surgical plan via a display;
communicating muscle force data associated with the determined surgical plan to a user;
determining a surgical plan for the subject based on the predicted simulated postoperative surgical correction;
designing a simulated spinal implant for use in conjunction with the simulated postoperative surgical correction;
manufacturing a personalized spinal implant configured to be implanted in the subject, the manufacturing being based on the designed simulated implant; and
providing the personalized spinal implant for implantation into the subject.
