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.
