Orthpaedic Monitoring Systems, Methods, Implants and Instruments
First Claim
1. An integrated surgical system for use in an orthopaedic:
- operating room to enable a surgeon to carry out a computer aided surgical procedure on a subject, the integrated surgical system comprising;
a subject support on which the subject can be positioned;
a first wireless magnetic tracking system, the tracking system generating a magnetic field defining a working volume of the tracking system, the subject support being located at least partially within the working volume, and the tracking system including a tracking control system configured to track the position of a marker detectable by the tracking system within the working volume and generate a signal indicative of the position of the marker within a reference frame of the tracking system;
a registration system configured to register the position of the body part of the subject with an image of the body part of the subject within the reference frame of the tracking system;
at least a first display device configured to display a registered image of the body part of the subject and at least an image representative of a trackable implant during the computer aided surgical procedure;
a control system configured to integrate the functionalities of a plurality of the parts of the surgical system; and
a surgeon interface operable by the surgeon to control operation of the plurality of parts of the integrated surgical system.

Abstract
Orthopaedic operating systems, operating rooms, computer aided surgical methods, trackable implants, instruments and surgical planning and IGS software applications are described. The integrated surgical system is for use in an orthopaedic operating room to enable a surgeon to carry out a computer aided surgical procedure on a subject. A subject support, wireless magnetic tracking system, registration system, at least a first display device, a control system and a surgeon interface operable by the surgeon to control operation of the plurality of parts of the integrated surgical system are provided. The method comprises determining the position of at least a first marker being wirelessly tracked by a wireless magnetic tracking system, registering the position of the body part of the subject with an image of the body part of the subject, displaying a registered image of the body part of the subject and at least an image representative of an implant, and receiving a command from a surgeon interface operable by the surgeon.
