    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically determining pedicle screw trajectories for surgery may be provided. A scan of a spine may be received, and positions of one or more vertebra and one or more components of the one or more vertebra in the scan may be identified. Next, a screw trajectory planning algorithm may determine an initial screw trajectory plan using the positions of the one or more vertebra and the one or more components. The screw trajectory planning algorithm may then determine a revised screw trajectory plan by revising the initial screw trajectory plan according to weighted factors.

    Abstract: Methods and systems related to bone model generation and associated surgical techniques are discussed herein. A disclosed method for generating a bone model for a patient bone includes storing a conforming bone template model, accepting a nonconformity of the patient bone, and generating a nonconforming bone model using the nonconformity of the patient bone and the bone template model. The nonconformity is used to set a constraint of the conforming bone template model to a value and the nonconforming bone model has the value for the constraint. The nonconforming bone model can be generated using a bone model generator engine. In specific embodiments, the nonconformity can be described and accepted for use by the bone model generator engine using values that can be obtained from standard planar radiographs.
