Abstract
- STUDY DESIGN: Review article.
OBJECTIVES
To present the latest knowledge on spine surgery using augmented reality (AR). SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW: AR is a new technology that simulates interactions with real-world surroundings using computer graphics, and it is a field that has recently been highlighted as part of the fourth industrial revolution.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Review of related literature and introduction of latest research.
RESULTS
Spine surgery using AR is currently in its early stages. If industry, academia, and research institutes cooperate and develop, spine surgery using AR is highly likely to develop to the next level.
CONCLUSIONS
Spine surgeons should strive to develop relevant technology.
