As #spinal surgery in scoliotic patients aims to correct the deformity and ‘normalize’ the #spine, a better understanding of the deviation of the spine from the normative #spine curvature can inform the surgeon about the changes that are needed to be imparted during the surgery. Our classification allows the surgeon to acknowledge this difference and plan better for #surgery. Thus far, this was only possible through a complicated and time-consuming image processing, but our method allows us to obtain the same information from the clinically available X-ray images. Learning about this new classification led the surgeon to incorporate that very sought-after #third dimension of the spine, which is traditionally hard to access in clinic, in their clinical practice.”
