Abstract
Adult spinal deformity radiographic parameters can be measured accurately, precisely, reliably, and more efficiently using a smartphone protractor application than with a standard protractor and wax pencil. A high degree of intra- and interobserver reliability was seen between the residents and attending surgeon, indicating measurements made with a smartphone protractor are unaffected by an observer's level of experience. As a result, smartphone protractors may be used when planning ASD surgery.
