This is an observational registry that follows patients during their routine spine surgery care. Researchers are studying how well custom-fitted spine rods work compared to standard spine hardware, and they're tracking patient recovery, spine alignment, and any complications that occur after surgery.
Doctors want to better understand how custom-fitted spine rods perform in real patients over time, and whether they improve outcomes compared to traditional spine hardware. This information will help surgeons make better decisions about which devices to use for different patients.

You will be followed during your regular spine surgery clinic visits before and after your operation. At these visits, you'll answer questions about yourself and fill out surveys about how you're feeling and functioning. Researchers will also collect spine measurements from your routine X-rays. The study is observational, meaning you'll receive your standard surgical care while doctors track your recovery and outcomes over time.
