I already have!
It’s a jigging or positioning system. A valuable tool for locating and positioning screws through a portal.
Here is their site.

Screw placement varies on every level, and on every case. Very good idea! A safe idea.

That’s a nice try for an excuse....I guess everyone up there is on hold now because of this?
This equipment is the next step. A very small step, but it’s a step forward....a valuable tool, to help solve just a fraction of the many parameters required in a scoliosis surgery. They say 1mm placement accuracy, and I can see that now thinking about this system. It would be nice if they can improve on that some....

Yes, the article specifically states that it's used mostly for scoliosis surgery. One of the inventors is Isadore Lieberman, who is a spinal deformity surgeon.Never argue with an idiot. They always drag you down to their level, and then they beat you with experience. --Twain
