If a UNiD rod was planned without any of these four parameters and met the surgeons planned surgical objectives, no additional actions are required. As these parameters are optional for planning, there is no record of whether the parameters were utilized for surgical planning. If you are concerned that the use of these parameters may have adversely impacted a patient s sagittal balance, it is recommended to re-evaluate the surgical plan and continue to follow the patient based on your assessment of their post operative sagittal balance. Monitor patients per routine standard of care and intervene per medical judgement.
