A drill guide assembly () for a drilling tool () having a chuck engaging a bit portion () comprising a tip () and a length extending from the chuck, the drill guide assembly comprising a first member (), a second member () and a trackable member (). The first member () is adapted to abut a workpiece surface and defines a central aperture () therethrough adapted to receive the bit portion. The second member () is adapted to be axially displaced with respect to the first member and is axially biased therefrom, and defines a central aperture () therethrough adapted to receive the bit portion. The trackable member (), fastened to the second member, comprises a detectable element () adapted to be located and tracked in three dimensional space, thereby defining the position and movement of the second member and therefore that of the drilling tool bit portion.

CAS drill guide and drill tracking system

A surgical device adapted for use with an image guided surgical system to facilitate monitoring inter-dependently mobile bone elements. A rigidly connected multiple-point anchor assembly is releasably engageable to at least two inter-dependently mobile bone elements and immobilizes the bone elements such that no relative movement therebetween is possible, and a complex rigid body comprising the immobilized bone elements and the multiple-point anchor assembly is formed. A trackable member is fastened to the multiple-point anchor assembly and comprises a detectable element adapted to be located and tracked in three dimensional space by the image guided surgical system, thereby defining position and movement of the complex rigid body.

Multiple bone tracking

A drill guide assembly for a drilling tool having a chuck engaging a bit portion comprising a tip and a length extending from the chuck, the drill guide assembly comprising a first member, a second member and a trackable member. The first member is adapted to abut a workpiece surface and defines a central aperture therethrough adapted to receive the bit portion of the drilling tool. The second member is adapted to be axially displaced with respect to the first member and is axially biased therefrom, and defines a central aperture therethrough adapted to receive the bit portion of the drilling tool. The trackable member, fastened to the second member, comprises a detectable element adapted to be located and tracked in three dimensional space, thereby defining the position and movement of the second member and therefore that of the bit portion of the drilling tool.
