• a first wireless magnetic tracking system, the tracking system generating a magnetic field defining a working volume of the tracking system, the subject support being located at least partially within the working volume, and the tracking system including a tracking control system configured to track the position of a marker detectable by the tracking system within the working volume and generate a signal indicative of the position of the marker within a reference frame of the tracking system;
• a registration system configured to register the position of the body part of the subject with an image of the body part of the subject within the reference frame of the tracking system;
• at least a first display device configured to display a registered image of the body part of the subject and at least an image representative of a trackable implant during the computer aided surgical procedure;
• a control system configured to integrate the functionalities of a plurality of the parts of the surgical system;
• and
• a surgeon interface operable by the surgeon to control operation of the plurality of parts of the integrated surgical system.
