Abstract
A surgical navigation system is provided to create a plan to correct a deformed spinal alignment. A processor is configured to obtain a first set of image data associated with a deformed alignment in a spine of a patient from at least one imaging device. The processor is also configured to process the first set of image data to identify a set of deformed alignment parameters associated with the deformed alignment. The processor is further configured to identify a set of corrected alignment parameters. The processor is also configured to process the first set of image data, the set of deformed alignment parameters, and the set of corrected alignment parameters to generate a correction plan to surgically manipulate the deformed alignment to the preferred alignment. The processor is additionally configured to provide navigation through the correction plan to facilitate surgical manipulation of a patient spine to the preferred alignment. The processor is also configured to receive information relating to forces on a rod-link reducer or surgical implants from strain gauges to aid the correction plan.
