  • a cutting jig adapted to be secured to a bone, the cutting jig having at least one cut slot for guiding a tool in altering the bone;

    at least one sourceless sensor mounted to the cutting jig, the sensor outputting data representative at least of an orientation of the at least one cut slot relative to the bone;

    a digital processing device operatively coupled to the sensor to receive data derived from the data output from the sensor, the digital processing device generating a display output indicative of an orientation of the at least one cut slot relative to the bone; and

    a display operatively coupled to the digital processing device and adapted to receive the display output, where the display output displays the change in orientation of the at least one cut slot relative to the bone.
