Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Software engineering innovations have led to the development of virtual surgical planning software (VSPS) for deformity correction. VSPS uses calibrated radiographs and machine learning predictive models to simulate postoperative spinopelvic parameters based on corrective techniques and anticipated compensatory/reciprocal changes. The authors aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of deformity correction in adult spinal deformity using VSPS and patient-specific rods manufactured based on a simulated plan.
