Abstract
A surgical instrument adaptor comprises a member including a first mating surface that is removably attachable with a surgical instrument and a second mating surface that is connectable with an actuator. An image guide is attachable with the member and oriented relative to a sensor to communicate a signal representative of a position of the surgical instrument. Systems, surgical instruments, spinal implants and methods are disclosed.
Claims20
A surgical instrument adaptor comprising:
- a member removably attachable with a surgical instrument, the member comprising a first mating surface and a second mating surface, the second mating surface being connectable with an actuator, the member including an inner surface defining a passageway, the passageway extending continuously along an entire length of the member;
- and
- a navigation component attachable with the member, the first mating surface including a flange configured for disposal in a cavity of the navigation component to attach the member to the navigation component,
- wherein the navigation component extends between opposite proximal and distal end surfaces, the navigation component comprising a channel extending through the proximal end surface such that the channel is in communication with the cavity,
- wherein the navigation component comprises an aperture, the cavity being positioned between the aperture and the channel, the navigation component comprising a flange between the cavity and the aperture, and
- wherein the navigation component comprises an opening extending through the distal end surface, the opening being in communication with the aperture, the opening having a maximum diameter equal to a maximum diameter of the cavity.
