ORTHOPEDIC TOOL POSITION AND TRAJECTORY GUI
First Claim
1. A method of surgical tracking display comprising:
- moving a probe device toward a patient, where the probe is displayed as a simulated probe, where the simulated probe moves as the probe is moved by a first user, where a portion of the patient is also displayed as a displayed patient portion, where the simulated probe moves in relation to the displayed patient portion;
rotating and moving the probe to a target location and target orientation on the patient as determined by the first user;
saving the target location and target orientation of the probe;
displaying the target location as a target location mark;
displaying the target orientation as a target orientation mark;
moving a surgical device toward the patient, where the surgical device is displayed as a simulated surgical device, where the simulated surgical device moves as a second user moves the surgical device, where the simulated surgical device moves in relation to the displayed patient portion; and
rotating and moving the surgical device until the simulated surgical device is at about the target location mark and the simulated surgical device is about aligned with the target orientation mark.

Abstract
A prosthetic hip installation system comprising a reamer, an impactor, a tracking element, and a remote system. The tracking element can be integrated into the reamer or impactor for providing tracking data on the position or orientation. Alternatively, the tracking element can be housed in a separate module that can be coupled to either the reamer or impactor. The tracking element will couple to a predetermined location. Points in 3D space can be registered to provide a frame of reference for the tracking element or when the tracking element is moved from tool to tool. The tracking element sends data from the reamer or impactor wirelessly. The remote system receives the tracking data and can further process the data. A display on the remote system can support placement and orientation of the tool to aid in the installation of the prosthetic component.
