Systems and methods for orthopedic implant fixation

A personalized spinal fixation system comprising:

• a surgical planning software tool configured to (1) generate a three-dimensional virtual model of at least a portion of a subject's spinal anatomy, (2) measure the three-dimensional virtual model to obtain one or more measurements associated with at least one of a pelvic tilt, sagittal alignment, or lumbar lordosis of the subject'spinal anatomy, (3) based at least in part on the obtained one or more measurements, adjust relationships of the subject's spinal anatomy in the virtual model to provide a corrected spinal geometry that at least partially corrects one or more anatomical deformaties of the subject's spinal anatomy, (4) apply one or more predictive guidelines to the virtual model to determine if the corrected spinal anatomy conforms to the one or more predictive guidelines, wherein the predictive tilt, sagittal alignment, or lumbar lordosis, and (5) if the corrected spinal anatomy confroms to the one or more predictive guidelines, at least partially design a plate for achieving the corrected spinal geometry when implanted in the subject,
• wherein the implant includes
• a plate having a shape that does not conform to a single plane and being configured to extend across at least one intervertebral gap when implanted in the subject, wherein the shape of the plate is at least partially determined by the surgical planning software tool, and wherein the plate comprises at least one node having a hole configured to receive the at least one bone anchor,
• at least one bone anchor, and
• a locking element configured to connect the at least one bone anchor to the plate.

• wherein the implant includes
• a plate having a shape that does not conform to a single plane and being configured to extend across at least one intervertebral gap when implanted in the subject, wherein the shape of the plate is at least partially determined by the surgical planning software tool, and wherein the plate comprises at least one node having a hole configured to receive the at least one bone anchor, and
• at least one bone anchor.
