Brief description/objective

Restoring lumbar lordosis is one of the main goals in lumbar spinal fusion surgery. The Mazor X-Align software allows for the prediction of postoperative segmental lumbar lordosis based on preoperative imaging. There is limited data on the accuracy of this preoperative prediction, especially in patients undergoing short segment lumbar fusion. The objective of our study was to determine the accuracy of predicted postoperative segmental lumbar lordosis using the Mazor X-Align software in patients requiring short segmental fusion.
