PROSTHETIC HIP INSTALLATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A hip installation system comprising:
- a reamer having a tracking element coupled thereto where the reamer is configured to provide tracking data of the reamer;
an impactor having a tracking element coupled thereto configured to provide tracking data of the impactor; and
a remote system configured to receive the tracking data from the reamer and the impactor where the remote system is configured to support positioning the reamer and impactor.

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.
