Computer-assisted face-jaw-teeth transplantation

A computer-assisted method for performing craniomaxillofacial surgery, comprising:

• attaching a first reference unit comprising a first trackable element to an implant;
• attaching a fragment reference unit comprising a second trackable element to the implant;
• detecting a location of at least one of the first trackable element and the second trackable element with a first detector, the first detector configured to provide at least one of a first signal corresponding to the detected location of at least one of the first trackable element and the second trackable element;
• accessing a first computer readable reconstruction of the implant, wherein the first computer readable reconstruction comprises a first orientation that is updated based on a physical location of at least one of the first trackable element and the second trackable element as detected by the first detector;
• attaching a second reference unit comprising a third trackable element to an anatomical feature of a recipient being;
• detecting a location of the third trackable element with a second detector, the second detector configured to provide at least one of a second signal corresponding to a detected location of at least the third trackable element;
• accessing a second computer readable reconstruction of the recipient anatomy, wherein the second computer readable reconstruction comprises a second orientation that is updated based on a physical location of the third trackable element detected by the second detector;
• and
• superimposing the first computer readable reconstruction on the second computer readable reconstruction.
