A surgical system is provided. The surgical system includes a camera operable to capture images and/or video. A projector is operable to project light, and a controller is communicatively coupled with the camera and the projector. The controller is operable to track movement of bone in real-time during surgery based on the images and/or video captured by the camera, and control the projector to project the light including a cutting line on the bone to indicate a cutting plane for cutting the bone during surgery.

A method for identifying one or more fractures in a digitized x-ray image includes: obtaining a digitized x-ray image; performing preprocessing on the digitized x-ray image to generate a modified x-ray image having enhanced resolution; partitioning the modified x-ray image into a two-dimensional array including multiple pixels; obtaining an intensity of each of the pixels in the modified x-ray image; evaluating each of the pixels in the modified x-ray image to determine whether at least a given one of the pixels has an intensity indicative of a black pixel; for each given pixel having an intensity indicative of a black pixel, flagging the given pixel when pixels immediately adjacent to the given pixel have an intensity greater than a prescribed threshold value; and placing a visual indication of a possible fracture on the modified x-ray image corresponding to a location of each flagged pixel.
