Abstract
A surgical navigation system including at least one tracking system having a magnetic field generator for generating a magnetic field; a joint sensor detectable within the magnetic field; an instrument motion sensor detectable within the magnetic field; and a processor. The processor is configured to receive patient-specific image data of a joint of a patient, receive position data from the joint sensor, receive position data from the instrument motion sensor, update the patient-specific image data based on one of the received position data from the joint sensor and the instrument motion sensor, and output the updated patient-specific image data. The joint sensor can include a marker including at least one of a pin and a fiber member.

A surgical navigation system comprising:
- a tracking system having a magnetic field generator for generating a magnetic field;
- a joint sensor detectable within the magnetic field;
- an instrument sensor detectable within the magnetic field;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive patient-specific image data of a joint of a patient,
- receive position data from the joint sensor,
- receive position data from the instrument sensor,
- update the patient-specific image data based on one of the received position data from the joint sensor and the instrument sensor, and
- output the updated patient-specific image data.
A method for performing surgical navigation comprising:
- receiving patient-specific image data of a joint of a patient;
- generating a magnetic field;
- attaching a joint sensor detectable within the magnetic field to a bone of the joint;
- tracking position data of the joint sensor within the magnetic field;
- updating the patient-specific image data based on the tracked position data of the joint sensor;
- and
- outputting the updated patient-specific image data.
