Video Summary

Dr. Vigloria presents a study on Computer Assisted Root Contouring in Spinal Deformity Surgery for the Spine Summit 2024. The research compares outcomes of computer-assisted versus traditional manual root contouring. They found a higher rate of root fractures with computer-assisted bending, leading to potential complications like osteoarthrosis and re-operation. This increased risk is attributed to the aggressive bending associated with the automated system. The study emphasizes the importance of considering the risks of new technology in surgical procedures.
