Computer simulation for the optimization of patient positioning in spinal deformity instrumentation surgery.

Studies have shown that scoliosis curves correct when patients are positioned on the operating table prior to instrumentation. However, biomechanical aspects of positioning have not been widely studied. The objective of this study was to simulate patient positioning during instrumentation surgery an...
