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.

System and method to conduct bone surgery

An apparatus for tracking surgical assets includes a processor, a power supply for providing power to an entirety of circuitry of the apparatus, and a communications engine coupled with the processor. The communications engine is configured to communicate with one or more mobile devices external to the apparatus. The tracking apparatus further includes a piezoelectric element for generating an audible indication in response to an activation signal supplied thereto, and a piezoelectric driver coupled with the piezoelectric element and the processor. The piezoelectric element is disposed on an exterior surface of the apparatus. The piezoelectric driver is configured to generate the activation signal supplied to the piezoelectric element as a function of a user-initiated request signal and/or a control signal generated by the processor. The tracking apparatus is adapted to withstand elevated temperatures during a sterilization process of a medical asset to which the apparatus is attached.
