This positioning system (100) for a bone resecting instrumentation comprising a resection driver (2), comprises at least one of a gyroscopic sensor (8) integral in motion with the resection driver (2) and adapted to sense a deviation angle (θ) with respect to a reference direction (X), and at least one positioning marker (12; 140) marking a fixed position on the reference direction (X), and a depth sensor (10; 18) integral in motion with the resection driver (2), for detecting a resection depth (d) based on the relative longitudinal positions of the positioning marker (12; 140) and the depth sensor (10). The invention also concerns a positioning kit including such a positioning system and a separate electronic device.
Positioning system for a bone resecting instrumentation comprising a resection driver, wherein the positioning system comprises at least one positioning marker marking a fixed position on a reference direction, and a depth sensor integral in motion with the resection driver, for detecting a resection depth based on the relative longitudinal positions of the positioning marker and the depth sensor, and wherein the positioning system comprises a reference pin intended to be inserted in a fixed orientation in a bone for marking the reference direction, the at least one positioning marker being provided on the reference pin.
