Abstract

Systems and methods for designing and implementing patient-specific surgical procedures and/or medical devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving intra-operative data during a surgical procedure to install a patient-specific implant in a patient. The system can compare the intra-operative data to a pre-operative plan to determine whether the implant is positioned and located according to the pre-operative plan.
