Abstract
A surgical system includes a first trackable marker configured to be coupled to a first bone of a joint, a second trackable marker configured to be coupled to a second bone of the joint, and a tracking system configured to track a position of the first trackable marker and a position of the second trackable marker. A controller is configured to receive an input from a user specifying a user-input native deformity of the joint and determine, based on the position of the first trackable marker and the position of the second trackable marker, a detected native deformity of the joint. The controller is further configured to compare the detected native deformity of the joint to the user-input native deformity of the joint and generate an alert in response to a disagreement between the detected native deformity of the joint and the user-input native deformity of the joint.
