Problems solved by technology

The tracker array is attached to the bone via an extramedullary clamp; however, these types of clamps are less secure than bicortical or unicortical pins and may become dislodged or otherwise move during the surgical procedure

Abstract

A system (100) and device (300) for mounting and tracking a tracker array during a surgical procedure are described. For example, the system includes a surgical navigation system (700) including a position tracking system (702) configured to track one or more tracker arrays, and a device (300) for mounting a tracker array (306) onto a patient during the surgical procedure. The device includes an intramedullary (IM) canal component (304) configured to be inserted into an IM canal (310) within a bone (312). The device further includes a tracker pin (308) configured to penetrate at least a portion of the bone and engage an inserted end (411, 413) of the IM canal component, and a tracker array (306) affixed to the tracker pin. The IM canal component is configured to engage the IM canal of the bone to stabilize the tracker array during the surgical procedure.

Description

[0001] priority statement [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application No. 62 / 463,853, entitled "Surgical Navigation System Support Array," filed February 27, 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure generally relates to a mounting device for use with a surgical navigation system. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a mount for a fiducial array that can be used to provide a reference point for the intramedullary canal in the bone to aid the surgeon in a revision implant procedure. Background technique [0004] The use of computers, robotics and imaging to assist orthopedic surgery is known in the art. There has been a great deal of research and development into computer-aided navigation and robotic systems used to guide surgical procedures. For example, computer-assisted surgery ("CAS") has been applied to invasive surgical procedures, such as implant proced...
