Generation of severely scoliotic subject-specific musculoskeletal models.

ABSTRACT: Surgical correction of severe scoliosis has been associated with high rates of complications and reoperation rates. Patient outcomes could be improved with the use of personalised scoliotic spine models. To be clinically applicable, these models must be robust to operator variability, must accurately reflect the patient anatomy, and be rapidly generated. This study developed a semi-automatic pipeline for creating subject-specific models, and the inter- and intra-operator variability and model accuracy were assessed. An existing generic spine model was modified and morphed into a subject-specific spine model using manually performed virtual anatomical landmark palpations through a semi-automatic pipeline. The inter- and intra-operator variability of the virtual palpations was assessed, and
