Abstract
A system and method are described herein for determining if hardware installed in a bone is at least partially within a volume of bone to be removed. The method includes determining a location for the volume of bone to be removed relative to a position of the bone. A POSE of a piece of hardware installed in the bone is determined. A computer comprising a processor then calculates if any portion of the piece of hardware is located at least partially within the volume of bone to be removed using the determined location of the volume of bone to be removed and the determined POSE of the piece of hardware. A user may be notified if any portion of the hardware is located at least partially within the cut volume.
