Splint device for guided surgical robot

A splint device for robotically-guided surgery, said device comprising:

• an elongate first splint portion having first and second longitudinal ends and defining longitudinally spaced-apart relief holes;
• an elongate second splint portion having first and second longitudinal ends and defining longitudinally spaced-apart relief holes, the second splint portion co-extending with the first splint portion;
• a first separability provision disposed between the first and second splint portions and extending longitudinally from between the respective first ends to between the respective second ends of the first and second splint portions;
• a tracking portion engaged with the first splint portion or the second splint portion and extending outwardly therefrom, the tracking portion having a kinematic mount engaged therewith;
• a second separability provision extending between one of the relief holes of the first splint portion and one of the relief holes of the second splint portion, the second separability provision comprising a reduced section thickness of the first and second splint portions extending between the one of the relief holes of the first splint portion and the one of the relief holes of the second splint portion, wherein the second separability provision is arranged to be severable so as to facilitate adjustability of a length of the first and second splint portions and the first separability provision;
• and
• a tool calibration provision engaged with the first splint portion, the second splint portion, the first separability provision, or the tracking portion, the tool calibration provision being disposed in a predetermined disposition relative to the kinematic mount.

• and
• a fiducial marker element received by a depression defined by an outer surface of the first splint portion, the second splint portion, the first separability provision, or the tracking portion, the fiducial marker element being received in a predetermined disposition relative to the kinematic mount.
