A surgical registration tool including a bone engagement structure comprising a distal condyle abutment structure, at least one posterior condyle abutment structure, a side condyle abutment structure, and an anterior shaft abutment structure. The distal condyle abutment structure includes a distal planar surface. The at least one posterior condyle abutment structure includes at least one planar surface extending distally from the distal planar surface and positioned perpendicular to the distal planar surface. The side condyle abutment structure includes a planar surface extending distally from the distal planar surface and positioned perpendicular to the distal planar surface and the at least one planar surface. The anterior shaft abutment structure extends distally from the distal planar surface and terminates at a distal tip. The registration tool also includes a handle coupled to the engagement structure and extending proximally therefrom, and a tracker array configured to couple to the handle.

Surgical registration tools, systems, and methods of use in computer-assisted surgery

A system for intra-operatively registering a pelvis comprising an acetabulum with a computer model of the pelvis in a coordinate system. The system may include: a) a surgical navigation system including a tracking device; and b) at least one computing device in communication with the surgical navigation system. The at least one computing device: i) receiving first data points from first intra-operatively collected points on an articular surface of the acetabulum, the first data points collected with the tracking device; ii) receiving a second data point from a second intra-operatively collected point on the pelvis, the second data point collected with the tracking device, the second data point corresponding in location to a second virtual data point on the computer model; and iii) determining an intra-operative center of rotation of the femur relative to the pelvis from the first data points.

Systems and methods for intra-operative pelvic registration

A registration system including a bone pin guide and a bone pin clamp. The bone pin guide may include a guide body, a first guide including a first guide through-hole having a first longitudinal axis, and a second guide including a second guide through-hole having a second longitudinal axis. The bone pin guide may guide first and second bone pins into a bone via the first and second guides. The bone pin clamp may include a clamp body, first, second, and third clamp through-holes extending through the clamp body, a plurality of registration indents defined on the clamp body, and a clamping mechanism including at least one adjustable fastener. The bone pin clamp may receive the first and second bone pins in the first and third clamp through-holes and guide a third bone pin into the bone via the second clamp through-hole.
