Preliminary experience with SpineEOS, a new software for 3D planning in AIS surgery

ConclusionIn this preliminary study, the software based on 3D stereoradiography low-dose system used to plan AIS surgery seems reliable for preoperative planning and precontoured rods. It is an interesting tool to improve surgeons ’ practice, since 3D planning is expected to reduce complications such as iatrogenic malalignment and to help for a better understanding of the complications, choosing the location of the transitional vertebra. However, further work is needed to improve thoracic kyphosis planning.Graphical abstractThese slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.
