Apparatuses, systems, and methods including integrated feedback for in-situ surgical device contouring or bending are disclosed. One embodiment is a system including a bone anchor, a longitudinal member coupled with the bone anchor, an instrument adapted to bend the longitudinal member, a sensor configured to provide an output indicative of force exerted by the bone anchor on a bone coupled with the bone anchor when the instrument applies force to the longitudinal member, and an indicator configured to provide an indication when the output meets or exceeds a threshold. Another embodiment further includes a second sensor configured to provide a second output indicative of temperature of the longitudinal member and wherein the instrument is further configured to apply heat to the longitudinal member and the indicator is further configured to provide an indication when the second output meets or exceeds a second threshold. |
