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 2):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the system is further caused to:\n determine, from the one or more medical images, for each vertebra within the vertebral segment of interest, a screw insertion axis projected length on a sagittal plane and vertebral body width; determine, based at least in part from predetermined spinal anatomical data, literature, or surgeon preferences, for each vertebra within the vertebral segment of interest, an assumed or predetermined angulation of an implanted screw in reference to an endplate to which the screw is configured to be attached to, an assumed or predetermined angle between a vertebra axis and a pedicle axis on a transverse plane, an assumed or predetermined ratio between screw length and screw insertion axis length, and an assumed or predetermined ratio between vertebral body width and pedicle width; generate one or more desired lengths of one or more screws for insertion in each vertebra within the vertebral segment of interest based at least in part on the determined screw insertion axis projected length on the sagittal plane, the determined vertebral body width, the assumed or predetermined angle between the vertebra axis and the pedicle axis on the transverse plane, and the assumed or predetermined ratio between screw length and screw insertion axis length; generate one or more desired diameters of the one or more screws for insertion in each vertebra within the vertebral segment of interest based at least in part on the determined screw insertion axis projected length on the sagittal plane, the determined vertebral body width, and the assumed or predetermined ratio between vertebral body width and pedicle width; and generate screw manufacturing or screw selection data instructions, based at least in part on the determined one or more desired lengths and desired diameters, for use by a screw manufacturing or screw selection apparatus for producing or selecting from a pre-existing range of screws the one or more screws for the patient.
