Abstract
There is provided a system for assisting a bone reorientation that includes (or communicates with) localization system components comprising a reference element to mount to the patient's bone and a tracker element to mounting to a bone fragment; and at least one computing unit coupled to the localization system components. The computing unit is configured to: define change in bone fragment orientation data (CBFOD) responsive to tracking measurements received from the localization system components; receive mapping information (e.g. generated from a pre-operative medical image of the patient's bone and bone fragment region) to define a map between the CBFOD and clinical parameters; and calculate and provide for display one or more clinical parameters based on the CBFOD and the map. A tracker element coupling component is also described with quick-connect and adjustment features. Method and other aspects are provided.
