Intraoperative image guidance for the surgical treatment of adult spinal deformity.

ABSTRACT: Operative management of adult spinal deformity (ASD) has been increasing in recent years secondary to an aging society. The advance of intraoperative image guidance, such as the development of navigation and robotics systems has contributed to the growth and safety of ASD surgery. Currently, intraoperative image guidance is mainly used for pedicle screw placement and the evaluation of alignment correction in ASD surgery. Though it is expected that the use of navigation and robotics would result in increasing pedicle screw accuracy as reported in other spine surgeries, there are no well-powered studies specifically focusing on ASD surgery. Currently, deformity correction relies heavily on preoperative planning, however, a few studies have shown the possibility that intraoperative image moda
