    摘要: A system and method for locating cutting accessories such as saw blades that, when actuated by the complementary driver, move relative to the driver. The saw blade is provided with one or more geometric features. The location of these features is identified by a pointer. The pointer is part of a surgical navigation system used to monitor the position of the driver to which the saw blade is attached. Based on the location of the geometric features, data regarding the head of the saw blade are generated. Thus, the surgical navigation has data indicating the position and orientation of the driver and the position of the head of the cutting accessory relative to the driver. Based on these data, the surgical navigation system generates data indicating the position and orientation of the head of the saw blade or like cutting accessory.

    摘要: An adapter can be easily used to assist a surgical navigation system to determine the effector axis or the effector plane of a surgical device. The adapter has a body with a geometrical feature, the geometrical feature has a known relation with a navigation tracker device that can be attached to the adapter. When the adapter is held against a surgical device in a non-fixed manner, the effector axis or the effector plane of the device can be tracked by the surgical navigation system. The method includes a calibration method to determine the known relation between the effector axis or the effector plane and the location of the navigation tracker.

    摘要: A method of performing an arthroplasty of a ball and socket joint with a surgical navigation system includes the step of digitizing landmarks to provide geometrical parameters of the joint and a limb depending there from, including digitizing aspects of a socket region of the ball and socket joint. A range of motion parameter is determined. A soft tissue tension parameter is determined. A functional goal is computed based on landmark data, the range of motion parameter, the soft tissue tension parameter, and a database of potential implants. An optimal socket position is solved for to minimize impingement of potential implants. An implant is chosen based on the optimal socket position and the functional goal. The joint is prepared to receive the chosen implant. The chosen implant is installed into the joint.
