Abstract:
The disclosure herein relate to systems, methods, and devices for developing patient-specific spinal treatments, operations, and procedures. In some embodiments, systems, methods, and devices described herein for developing patient-specific spinal treatments, operations, and procedures can comprise an iterative virtuous cycle. The iterative virtuous cycle can further comprise pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative techniques or processes. For example, the iterative virtuous cycle can comprise imaging analysis, case simulation, implant production, case support, data collection, machine learning, and/or predictive modeling. One or more techniques or processes of the iterative virtuous cycle can be repeated.

Claim (Index 17):
The system of  claim 15 , wherein the system is further caused to:\n simulate, on the one or more medical images, implantation of a spinal rod to the vertebral segment of interest, wherein the simulation of implantation of the spinal rod further comprises:\n identifying one or more reference points along the vertebral segment of interest; and \n rotating one or more portions of the one or more medical images around the identified one or more reference points to obtain a desired surgical output curvature of the spine of the patient; \n determine, based at least in part on the simulation of implantation of the spinal rod, one or more dimensions of a patient-specific spinal rod for the vertebral segment of interest, wherein the one or more dimensions of the patient-specific spinal rod comprises a diameter and curvature thereof; generate spinal rod manufacturing or selection data instructions, based at least in part on the determined one or more dimensions of the patient-specific spinal rod, for use by a spinal rod manufacturing or selection apparatus for producing or selecting the patient-specific spinal rod for the vertebral segment of interest, wherein the patient-specific spinal rod for the vertebral segment of interest is produced or selected from a range of pre-existing spinal rods based at least in part on the generated spinal rod manufacturing data instructions.
