This study aimed to demonstrate that the augmented reality computer-assisted spine surgery (ARCASS) system is clinically feasible for percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP). ⋯ This study revealed that the ARCASS system was clinically feasible for PVP. The guidance of ARCASS system provided more accurate bony entry point with reduced operative time and unnecessary radiation exposure.

Surgeons need tools to provide individualised estimates of surgical outcomes and the uncertainty surrounding these, to convey realistic expectations to the patient. This study developed and validated prognostic models for patients undergoing surgical treatment of lumbar disc herniation, to predict outcomes 1 year after surgery, and implemented these models in an online prediction tool. ⋯ While the model accuracy was good overall, the prediction intervals indicated considerable predictive uncertainty on the individual level. Implementation studies will assess the clinical usefulness of the online tool. Updating the models with additional predictors may improve the accuracy and precision of outcome predictions. These slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.
