What happens when a spine curves in ways that X-rays alone can’t fully explain? In cases of severe scoliosis, surgeons face a complex, multi-dimensional challenge—and traditional imaging only tells part of the story. In this video, Purnendu Gupta, M.D., reveals how 3D spine models are transforming the way surgeons understand and treat extreme spinal deformities. By bringing scans to life, these models expose critical details like torsion, rib deformity, and spatial alignment—insights that simply can’t be seen in 2D images. #scoliosis #shrinerschildrens
