Abstract: An association of a pre-operative plan and tracked position and orientation of a surgical instrument relative patient anatomy in a navigation system is generated. The pre-operative plan includes a virtual representation of the patient anatomy data. Position and orientation of the patient anatomy as well as position and orientation of the surgical instrument within the navigation system is obtained. A virtual representation of the surgical instrument relative the virtual representation of the patient anatomy data is generated in multiple orientations in separate parts of a split window. A system with a tracker comprising a tracker interface for attaching the tracker to the instrument includes a surgical navigation module for generating the virtual representation in a split window.

Abstract: A support (1) for at least one marker for a navigation system is disclosed. The support (1) comprises a body (2) having at least one region for the at least one marker, and a hub (4) for attaching the support (1) to a holder. The hub (4) comprises at least one reference surface (6) located at a first end of the hub (4), at least one deflectable element (7) at a second end of the hub (4), at least one support guide surface (8) extending at least partially between the reference surface (6) and the deflectable element (7), and a snap-fit feature (9) located at the deflectable element (7). A holder (20) for the support (1) is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and system for computer assisted orthopedic feedback of at least one surgical object relative a pre-operative plan are disclosed. The pre-operative plan includes a virtual object, which is the virtual representation of the surgical object, and a virtual structure, which is the virtual representation of the patient structure.

Abstract: A method for planning an orthopedic procedure including positioning a virtual implant component relative to a 3D volume of scan data of a patient is disclosed. A 3D volume of scan data of a patient, which includes scan data of a bony anatomy of the patient, is provided. A first 2D view of scan data is generated from the 3D volume of the scan data, wherein the 2D view of scan data comprises a first a portion of the bony anatomy. First positional information for the virtual implant component is defining relative to the first 2D view. A second 2D view of scan data is generated from the 3D volume of scan data, wherein the second 2D view of scan data is provided from the 3D volume of scan data at an angle relative to the first 2D view of scan data and comprises a second portion of the bony anatomy. Second positional information for the virtual implant component is defined relative to the second 2D view of scan data.

Abstract: A device is used for expanding a surgical operation or an ulceration, particularly a deep ulceration, and for maintaining it in expanded condition. The device incorporates a spiral and a cloth-formed material associated thereto. The spiral and the cloth-formed material are arranged to form an internal passage, which makes possible access to inner part of the human body, e.g. a vertebrate, vein, intestine, etcetera. The device is easy to install and can he adapted to the type of operation or wound. It is made in technically simple material and I advantageous from cost aspects.
