Abstract

This review analyzes enabling technology in Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD), with a focus on optimizing safety and teaching. The prevalence of ASD is rising, and recent technological advancements can empower surgeons to improve outcomes for ASD patients but also each comes with specific challenges. The paper highlights opportunities and potential obstacles in effective technology integration and assesses key enabling technologies, including surgical planning software, machine leaning, three-dimensional printing, augmented and virtual reality, patient-specific instrumentation as well as navigation and robotics.
