Brief Summary
This study will prospectively collect data to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel intraoperative spinal measurement system to assist the surgeon with intraoperatively achieving pre-planned alignment-related parameters to the patient's spine. The study will also collect outcomes data to determine if achievement of these spinal alignment-related parameters result in satisfactory outcomes and if it reduces the rate of secondary surgeries. Objectives Primary: To evaluate the effectiveness of a novel intraoperative spinal measurement system to assist the surgeon with achieving the surgeon's preplanned alignment-related parameters intraoperatively. Secondary: To determine if there is a correlation between 1) achievement of preoperative planned alignment-related parameters intraoperatively, and 2) outcomes. Hypothesis The application of the intraoperative spinal measurement tool for patients undergoing spinal fusion surgery will improve the surgeon's ability to achieve pre-planned alignment-related parameters intraoperatively and doing so will provide improved outcomes.

Study Arms (1)
Thoracolumbosacral posterior spine surgery using intraoperative measurement system
EXPERIMENTALTo evaluate the effectiveness of a novel intraoperative spinal measurement tool to assist the surgeon with achieving preoperatively planned alignment-related parameters during surgery. Patients may also be included when the surgeon uses another system or method for placement of the implants (i.e., other navigation system, robot, fluoroscopy, etc.) but also wants to utilize the measurement system. The data will be analyzed as a pool and stratified according to level and # of levels and other demographic and operative data to determine if there are differences.
Interventions
The design is a prospective study to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel intraoperative spinal measurement tool to assist the surgeon with achieving preoperatively planned alignment-related parameters during surgery.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Adult patients aged 18 years or older at the time of surgery
- Type of Surgery: Consecutively scheduled patients where the measurement system will be used who will have thoracolumbosacral posterior spine surgery that includes spinal instrumentation and fusion and that consent to the study
You may not qualify if:
- Patients treated for traumatic injury (penetrating injuries, etc.)
- Incarcerated persons
- Pregnant females
- Any patient current in another trial for a new implant or technique
- Non-Spine Related Surgeries: Patients who had surgeries for reasons other than spine-related conditions (even if they incidentally involved the spine)
- Patients having additional surgery occurring concurrently with spine surgery
- Patients ineligible for surgery
