1. A patient-specific implantable spinal rod comprising:
a curvature determined by:
accessing one or more representations of a vertebral column of a patient, wherein the one or more representations comprises a first curved segment above a reference point and a second curved segment below the reference point;
analyzing the one or more representations to determine a first curvature of the first curved segment and a second curvature of the second curved segment, and
determining one or more specifications of the curvature of the patient-specific implantable spinal rod based on the determined first curvature of the first curved segment and the second curvature of the second curved segment.
