Augmented Reality-Assisted Spine Surgery: An Early Experience Demonstrating Safety and Accuracy with 218 Screws

Abstract

This early experience study reports an overall G-R accuracy of 97.1% across 218 AR-guided screws with no intra or early postoperative complications. This shows that HMD-AR-assisted spine surgery is a safe and accurate tool for pedicle, cortical, and pelvic fixation. Larger studies are needed to continue to support this compelling evolution in spine surgery.
