Summary

For a significant number of patients suffering from back pain, even basic daily activities become impossible. It is at this time that spinal surgery becomes necessary in order to improve the patient's quality of life. To combat these symptoms, surgical implants (e.g. pedicle screws, rods, etc.) are used to aid in stabilizing and correcting the deformities of the spine, particularly after spinal decompression. The clinical need for spinal surgery is compounded by current and continuing demographic trends. As the general population continues to age, the number of orthopaedic surgical interventions is expected to rise drastically. Therefore, a significant opportunity exists for the implementation of surgical guidance technologies, for orthopaedic procedures, to combat this overwhelming health care burden.
