The Medicrea Group announced the publication of a new study validating the use of UNiD Patient-Specific Rods (PSR) for surgical correction of sagittal imbalance in adults. Five years after its initial launch in September 2013, over 2,800 patients have benefited from UNiD ASI 100% proprietary pre-operative planning technologies and services associated with patient-specific spinal realignment rods, with a strong acceleration in adoption rate in 2018 especially in the USA (+62% cases year-to-date 2018 and +90% in Third Quarter 2018). Since its inception, the technology has supported surgeons specializing both in adult and pediatric indications with planning services and patient-specific implants focused on restoring sagittal and coronal alignment. This study demonstrates that the use of patient specific rods improves the correspondence between planning and surgical realization. Medicrea's proprietary UNiD ASI technology uses Artificial Intelligence that digests scientific data to generate intelligent surgical planning through machine learning while simultaneously allowing the Spine Surgeon to perform detailed, custom analyses of his cases. The entire clinical workflow is thus managed from start to finish through the UNiD comprehensive Platform. By simulating surgical strategies using proprietary data and algorithms taking into consideration patients optimal sagittal alignment and compensatory mechanisms, Medicrea produces a patient-specific rod industrially bent. This process preserves the rod's full integrity, and limits stress points that could lead to rod fracture once implanted.
