Abstract: A system for simulating surgery includes an electromagnetic tracking system comprising an emitter and a plurality of electromagnetic sensors and a plurality of model bone fragments, each of the model bone fragments operatively connected to one of the plurality of electromagnetic sensors. A method for simulating surgery includes electromagnetically tracking position of a plurality of model bone fragments and a model bone shaft using an electromagnetic tracking system and displaying virtual fluoroscopic images based on sensed position of the model bone fragments and the model bone shaft.

Abstract: An orthopaedic surgical simulator includes a bone (a simulated bone or cadaver bone). The simulator further includes a base, wherein the bone is operatively connected to the base, an optical system mounted proximate the base, wherein the optical system comprises at least one camera and provides a first view and a second view of an incision area associated with the bone. There are fiducial markers on a surgical wire to represent depth of the surgical wire when a tip of the surgical wire is not visible. The simulator further includes a computing device in operative communication with the camera and configured to track position of a surgical wire by determining position of the surgical wire using the fiducial markers on the surgical wire and to generate imagery based on a three-dimensional model of the bone and position of the surgical wire relative to the bone.
