Artificial Intelligence in Spine Surgery

The amount and quality of data being used in our everyday lives continue to advance in an unprecedented pace. This digital revolution has permeated healthcare, specifically spine surgery, allowing for very advanced and complex computational analytics, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). The integration of these methods into clinical practice has just begun, and the following review article will describe AI/ML, demonstrate how it has been applied in adult spinal deformity surgery, and show its potential to improve patient care touching on future directions.
