What is augmented reality and it’s application in spine care?

Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that overlays digital information—such as 3D images, navigation cues, or anatomical models—onto the real-world environment, enhancing a user’s perception and interaction with physical space. In spine care, AR is revolutionizing surgical precision by allowing spine surgeons to visualize internal anatomy in real time through head-mounted displays or screen-based systems. This enables more accurate placement of pedicle screws, reduces attention shifts during surgery, and minimizes radiation exposure by integrating navigation directly into the surgeon’s field of view. AR also supports minimally invasive procedures by projecting virtual guides onto the operative field, improving workflow efficiency and potentially lowering complication rates.
