1. A system for assessing spinal implants, comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory storing instructions for execution by the at least one processor that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:
receive first image data of a spinal column of a patient;
determine, based on the first image data, a property of first bony anatomy in at least a first portion of the spinal column;
determine, based on the property of the first bony anatomy, an initial screw trajectory for inserting a screw into the spinal column;
virtually insert the screw along the initial screw trajectory using the first image data to generate modified first image data;
perform an initial loading simulation for the virtually inserted screw using the modified first image data;
determine, based on the initial loading simulation, a suitability of the initial screw trajectory for implanting the screw into the spinal column;
receive second image data of the spinal column of the patient;
determine, based on the second image data, a property of second bony anatomy in at least a second portion of the spinal column;
determine, based on the property of the second bony anatomy, an initial location for inserting an interbody implant into the spinal column;
virtually remove spinal anatomy at the initial location using the second image data to generate modified second image data;
virtually insert the interbody implant at the initial location using the modified second image data;
perform a first loading simulation for the virtually inserted interbody implant; and
determine, based on the first loading simulation, a suitability of the interbody implant at the initial location.
