    Abstract: A system for tracking a femoral frame of reference in computer-assisted surgery comprises a sensor unit. The sensor unit is adapted to be secured to the femur. The sensor unit comprises accelerometer and gyroscope sensors that produce orientation data. A processing unit receives gyroscope and accelerometer data. The processing unit comprises a gyroscope-data calculator to provide calculated acceleration data resulting from movements of the femur, an accelerometer-data calculator to calculate measured acceleration data resulting from movements of the femur, and an acceleration comparator to relate an orientation of the sensor unit to the femur to define a femoral frame of reference. The femoral frame of reference is defined from the comparison between the calculated and the measured acceleration data. A sensor orientation interface provides orientation data for the femur from a tracking of the femoral frame of reference. A method for tracking a femoral frame of reference is also provided.

    Abstract: An impactor for positioning and inserting an acetabular cup into an acetabulum of a pelvis during hip arthroplasty is described. The impactor includes a guide element mounted to an elongated body and including first and second openings aligned with each other to define an axial passage. The first and second openings and the axial passage receive a guide pin therethrough that is pinned in a fixed position to the pelvis. The guide element provides a mechanical orientation guide which restricts an angular orientation of the impactor relative to the guide pin when the guide pin is pinned in the fixed position relative to the pelvis and received through the first and second openings of the guide element. Centering the openings of the guide element relative to the guide pin in the fixed position accordingly achieves a desired orientation of the impactor within a predetermined angular tolerance.

    Abstract: A computer-assisted surgery system for guiding alterations to a bone, comprises a trackable member secured to the bone. The trackable member has a first inertial sensor unit producing orientation-based data. A positioning block is secured to the bone, and is adjustable once the positioning block is secured to the bone to be used to guide tools in altering the bone. The positioning block has a second inertial sensor unit producing orientation-based data. A processing system providing an orientation reference associating the bone to the trackable member comprises a signal interpreter for determining an orientation of the trackable member and of the positioning block. A parameter calculator calculates alteration parameters related to an actual orientation of the positioning block with respect to the bone.
