The method also includes determining a plurality of positions of the surgical implants located at the surgical site based on the captured plurality of poses. The method also includes generating a bend curve having a plurality of bend points based on the determined plurality of positions of the surgical implants. The method also includes generating bending instructions for bends to be performed on a linking device configured for attachment to the surgical implants.
