This feasibility study describes a novel registration approach that superimposes spinal anatomy and trajectories onto the surgeon's real-world view of the spine. These results demonstrate reasonable accuracy in the preclinical model. The results of this study demonstrate that this technology can assist with accurate screw placement. Further investigation using cadaveric and clinical models is warranted.
