    摘要: Systems and methods for planning surgical procedures involving custom medical implants that can involve the selection, design and/or creation of custom medical implants and/or the selection, modification, and/or design of custom surgical procedures related to those implants. Certain embodiments allow implants to be selected, designed, created, or otherwise customized and then placed in patients using non-standard surgical techniques. The invention provides greater flexibility in implant use by allowing a surgeon to revise, create, or otherwise select surgical techniques for custom implants and, ultimately, provide better treatment in a greater variety of medical circumstances. Certain embodiments of the invention involve computer assisted surgery to provide for implant-related surgery involving non-standard surgical steps and/or implants.

    摘要: Input/Output systems and processes for computer assisted surgery systems are described. In one embodiment, a rendering apparatus is adapted to render display information on a presentation substrate during surgery. A plurality of location indicia are attached to the presentation substrate and a sensor senses the position and orientation of the location indicia. A computer functionality determines the position and orientation of the presentation substrate from the information from the sensor on the position of the location indicia. The computer functionality coordinates the rendering apparatus with the position of the display substrate so that the rendering apparatus renders display information onto the presentation substrate used in surgery. In another embodiment, the rendering apparatus renders interaction indicia onto a presentation substrate and a monitoring apparatus monitors interaction with the interaction indicia to allow data to be input into the computer functionality by way of the interaction indicia.
