Optimal surgical planning guidance for lumbar spinal fusion considering operational safety and vertebra–screw interface strength

An optimized pre‐operative planning framework for lumbar spinal fusion was proposed, which augmented a novel functionality of suggesting optimal insertion trajectories and the screw size, considering operational safety and vertebra–screw interface strength, autonomously.
