Abstract: The technical description relates to mixed reality, augmented reality, and their use in the sharing of information about a procedure and in the performing of a procedure. A method for sharing information about a procedure and performing the procedure includes using a mixed reality system in a first location to display a mixed reality image having a virtual element representing information related to the procedure, instructing an information recipient to use an augmented reality system to view the virtual element, interacting with the virtual element to create a transformed virtual element, and manipulating a physical element in a second location while performing the procedure. Specific examples described herein relate to the field of medicine, and to orthopedics in particular.

Abstract: In various examples, a method of conductor management within a medical device includes providing a flexible substrate. The flexible substrate includes at least one routing feature. A hole is cut in the at least one routing feature with a cutting device. A conductor is passed through the hole in the at least one routing feature. The routing feature acts to maintain and manage positioning of the conductor within the medical device. The medical device, in some examples, includes a lead, with the conductor connected to an electrode of the lead after being routed through the routing feature.

Abstract: The technical description relates to anchor assembly tools, drivers kits, and methods useful in connecting a structure with another structure. An anchor assembly tool includes an outer member having a distal end configured to engage a head member and an inner member having a distal end configured to engage an anchor. A driver includes an outer member, an inner member, and a grasping member. A set screw driver includes an outer member and an inner member. An example kit includes an anchor assembly tool, an anchor, and a head member. A method of assembling an anchor assembly tool comprises releasably attaching a head member to the distal end of the outer member, releasably attaching an anchor to the distal end of the inner member, and advancing the inner member within the outer member such that the anchor is disposed within the head member.
