Abstract

A surgical planning and assessment system is disclosed. The system may include a computing system having a processor, a data store, and a patient specific planning and analysis module. The system may be configured to store a patient specific target plan including a digital representation of a spinal rod having a target geometry and transform the digital representation into a curved line. The system may generate a spline data set comprising a plurality of spline segments that are sequentially linked to one another. The system may adjust, iteratively, each spline segment until the plurality of spline segments approximate the curved line. The system may generate a digital file comprising drawings for manufacturing a spinal rod based on the plurality of spline segments. In various embodiments, each spline segment may be defined by a corresponding arc or a corresponding line extending between a corresponding starting point and a corresponding ending point.

Claims (42)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

providing a computing system comprising a processor, a data store, and a patient specific planning and analysis module;

inputting a patient specific target plan comprising a digital representation of a spinal rod having a target geometry;

transforming the digital representation of the spinal rod into a curved line corresponding to the target geometry;

generating a spline data set comprising a plurality of spline segments, each spline segment being sequentially linked to an adjacent spline segment;

adjusting, iteratively, each spline segment until the plurality of spline segments approximate the curved line;

after the plurality of spline segments approximate the curved line, generating manufacturing instructions informing how to bend a rod to conform to the curved line; and

providing, to a user, the manufacturing instructions on a user interface of the computing system.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the manufacturing instructions comprises providing reference points and bending directions of each particular segment.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface comprises a display screen.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the spline data set comprises defining each spline segment by a corresponding arc or a corresponding line extending between a corresponding starting point and a corresponding ending point.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein adjusting each spline segment comprises adjusting at least one spline segment of the plurality of spline segments by adjusting a curvature of an arc between a corresponding starting point and a corresponding ending point.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein adjusting each spline segment comprises:

adjusting each spline segment of the plurality of spline segments by adjusting a location of a corresponding starting point and a corresponding ending point of each spline segment; and

adjusting, after adjusting the location the corresponding starting point and the corresponding ending point, each spline segment of the plurality of spline segments by adjusting a curvature of an arc between the corresponding starting point and the corresponding ending point of each spline segment.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein adjusting each spline segment comprises:

adjusting each spline segment of the plurality of spline segments by adjusting at least one starting point and/or at least one ending point; and

adjusting a curvature of an arc of each spline segment defined by the arc.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising lengthening the spline data set to include a security comprising an extension of at least one spline curve prior to the adjusting each spline segment.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein adjusting each spline segment comprises adjusting each spline segment of the plurality of spline segments by adjusting a curvature of an arc between a corresponding starting point and a corresponding ending point or by adjusting a location of the corresponding starting point and the corresponding ending point.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein adjusting each spline segment comprises adjusting each spline segment iteratively until each spline segment of the plurality of spline segments is within a predefined tolerance relative to the curved line corresponding to the target geometry.

11. A surgical planning and assessment system, the system comprising:

a computing system comprising a processor, a data store, and a patient specific planning and analysis module, wherein the computing system comprises computer executable code that, when executed by the processor, is configured to:

receive a patient specific target plan comprising a digital representation of a spinal rod having a target geometry;

transform the digital representation of the spinal rod into a curved line corresponding to the target geometry;

generate a spline data set comprising a plurality of spline segments, each spline segment being sequentially linked to an adjacent spline segment;

adjust, iteratively, each spline segment until the plurality of spline segments approximate the curved line;

after the plurality of spline segments approximate the curved line, generate manufacturing instructions informing how to bend a rod to conform to the curved line; and

provide, to a user, the manufacturing instructions on a user interface of the computing system.

12. The surgical planning and assessment system of claim 11 , wherein providing the manufacturing instructions comprises providing reference points and bending directions of each particular segment.

13. The surgical planning and assessment system of claim 11 , wherein the user interface comprises a display screen.

14. The surgical planning and assessment system of claim 11 , wherein generating the spline data set comprises defining each spline segment by a corresponding arc or a corresponding line extending between a corresponding starting point and a corresponding ending point.

15. The surgical planning and assessment system of claim 11 , wherein adjusting each spline segment comprises adjusting at least one spline segment of the plurality of spline segments by adjusting a curvature of an arc between a corresponding starting point and a corresponding ending point.

16. The surgical planning and assessment system of claim 11 , wherein adjusting each spline segment comprises:

adjusting each spline segment of the plurality of spline segments by adjusting a location of a corresponding starting point and a corresponding ending point of each spline segment; and

adjusting, after adjusting the location the corresponding starting point and the corresponding ending point, each spline segment of the plurality of spline segments by adjusting a curvature of an arc between the corresponding starting point and the corresponding ending point of each spline segment.

17. The surgical planning and assessment system of claim 11 , wherein adjusting each spline segment comprises:

adjusting each spline segment of the plurality of spline segments by adjusting at least one starting point and/or at least one ending point; and

adjusting a curvature of an arc of each spline segment defined by the arc.

18. The surgical planning and assessment system of claim 11 , further comprising lengthening the spline data set to include a security comprising an extension of at least one spline curve prior to the adjusting each spline segment.

19. The surgical planning and assessment system of claim 18 , wherein adjusting each spline segment comprises adjusting each spline segment iteratively until each spline segment of the plurality of spline segments is within a predefined tolerance relative to the curved line corresponding to the target geometry.

20. The surgical planning and assessment system of claim 11 , wherein adjusting each spline segment comprises adjusting each spline segment of the plurality of spline segments by adjusting a curvature of an arc between a corresponding starting point and a corresponding ending point or by adjusting a location of the corresponding starting point and the corresponding ending point.
