1. A spinal surgery training system comprising:
a processor configured to:
generate a 3D curve of each of a plurality of spines based on a plurality of pre-operative 2D images of each spine;
apply a statistical clustering method to group each of the plurality of spines into one of a number of clusters based on similarity of the 3D curves; and
for each cluster, determine, based on one or more surgical techniques used to treat the spines in the cluster and associated post-operative results for each surgical technique, probabilities of achieving each of the post-operative results using each surgical technique.
