Systems and methods for planning, performing, and assessing spinal correction during surgery
A system for use during a surgical procedure includes a control unit configured to obtain a horizontal pelvic line (HPL) and a central sacral vertical line (CSVL); obtain a horizontal shoulder line (HSL) and an orthogonal midline (OM); compare the HPL and the CSVL with the HSL and the OM; determine an angle between the HPL and the HSL; and convert the angle to a patient position.
1. A system for use during a surgical procedure, the system comprising:
a control unit configured to:
obtain a horizontal pelvic line (HPL) and a central sacral vertical line (CSVL);
obtain a horizontal shoulder line (HSL) and an orthogonal midline (OM);
compare the HPL and the CSVL with the HSL and the OM;
determine an angle between the HPL and the HSL; and
convert the angle to a patient position.
2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a fixture for obtaining one or more of said HPL, CSVL, HSL, and OM.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the fixture comprises a radio dense horizontal member and a radio dense vertical member orthogonal to the horizontal member.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the radio dense horizontal and vertical members comprise a K-wire.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the K-wire is permanently embedded in the fixture.
6. The system of claim 3 , wherein the vertical member further comprises one or more mating features for interaction with a digitizing pointer.
7. The system of claim 2 , wherein the fixture further comprises an integrated adhesive material.
