This study developed a 3D patient-specific simulator for pedicle screw insertion, offering visual and quantitative feedback to improve surgical preparation and reduce misplacement risks.

Area of Science:

  • Spinal surgery simulation
  • Medical device development
  • Surgical training technology

Background:

  • Pedicle screw insertion is challenging, especially with abnormal spinal morphology.
  • Current preoperative planning relies on imaging, lacking quantitative post-insertion metrics.
  • A need exists for improved surgical practice and outcome assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a 3D patient-specific simulator for practicing pedicle screw insertion.
  • To provide surgeons with visual and quantitative feedback during simulated procedures.
  • To enhance surgical preparation and minimize pedicle screw misplacement risks.

Main Methods:

  • A 3D patient-specific spine model was created from CT scans.
  • The simulator was developed as a graphical plug-in using TCL scripting for AmiraDev 3.11.

  • Simulation allows practice with various screw sizes and adjustable spine translucency.

    • Main Results:

    • The simulator enables practice and analysis of pedicle screw insertion in 2D and 3D.
    • Quantitative feedback includes anatomical measurements, screw purchase, and a grading system.
    • Users can visualize screw trajectories and depths for better understanding.

    Conclusions:

    • The simulator is a valuable tool for complex cases and surgical trainees.
    • An ongoing study evaluates its efficacy as a teaching tool.
    • Future development aims for a stand-alone software platform.
