SagittalMeter Lite vs Rod Contouring Predictor

SagittalMeter is an educative app to easily measure sagittal balance parameters, by directly placing your phone on the sagittal X-Rays. The sagittal balance is an imperative factor to take into consideration for all practitioners treating spine problems and particularly for surgeons during the pre-operative phase. The compensatory mechanisms of a sagittal unbalanced spine may prevent a successful surgery outcome. A fundamental understanding of a correct sagittal alignment is strongly recommended in determining the correct use of fusion or non fusion devices. SagittalMeter enables you to measure 3 fundamental angles which are essential to analyze sagittal alignment: • Pelvic incidence (PI) • Pelvic tilt (PT) • Sacral slope (SS)

This app allows for a simplified calculation of the rod bending angle by inputting both the preoperative alignment and the desired postoperative alignment. It is specifically designed for thoracic curve cases in AIS (Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis). Please note, this app does not guarantee treatment outcomes. The developer assumes no responsibility for treatment outcomes resulting from the use of this app.
