AR-assisted S2AI screw placement had an overall accuracy rate of 95.6% (grade 0 and grade 1 screws) in a cohort of 12 patients and 23 screws. This compares favorably with freehand and robotic placement. 1,2 AR enables spine surgeons to both better visualize anatomy and accurately place spinal instrumentation. Future studies are warranted to research the learning curve and cost analysis of AR-assisted spine surgery.
