1. A system for measuring an alignment of a muscular skeletal system in an operating room comprising:
- a display, where the display shows at least a portion of the muscular skeletal system to be aligned;
a sensor wherein the sensor includes an accelerometer configured to measure axial tilt of the sensor and wherein the sensor includes a receiver of a trigger system; and
a wand wherein the wand includes an accelerometer configured to measure axial tilt of the wand, wherein the sensor is line of sight to the wand, wherein the sensor and the wand are configured to measure alignment of the muscular-skeletal system, wherein the wand includes a transmitter of the trigger system, and wherein a trigger signal transmitted by the trigger system is faster than a signal transmitted between the sensor and the wand.

Abstract
At least one embodiment is directed toward one or more disposable devices suitable for use in a surgical field of an operating room. One device includes a sensor communicatively coupled to a wand to register points of interest on a first or second bone of a muscular-skeletal system and transmits location data related to the points of interest to the sensor to assess orthopedic alignment with the points of interest.

11. An intra-operative system for an operating room comprising:
-
an ultrasonic alignment system configured to have at least one component coupled to a musculoskeletal system within a surgical field wherein the ultrasonic alignment system comprises a sensor and a wand, wherein the wand includes an accelerometer configured to measure axial tilt of the sensor, wherein the sensor includes an accelerometer configured to measure axial tilt of the sensor, wherein the ultrasonic alignment system includes a trigger system configured to emit a trigger signal between the wand and the sensor, and wherein a signal emitted between the sensor and the wand is emitted simultaneously with the trigger signal, wherein the trigger signal is faster than the signal emitted between the sensor and the wand; a prosthetic component having a sensor, wherein the sensor is configured to measure a parameter, wherein the prosthetic component couples to the musculoskeletal system, and wherein the alignment system is configured to measure alignment of the musculoskeletal system; and a display configured to show a portion of the musculoskeletal system and the measured parameter wherein the display includes a processor and wherein the display is configured to receive measurement data from the ultrasonic alignment system and the prosthetic component. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
