    Abstract: There are provided tracker coupling apparatus for coupling an optical tracker to a patient anatomy. An apparatus comprises a body having a bone coupling interface located at a first end of the body, for coupling the apparatus to the bone, and a second end that comprises a tracker coupling interface to couple to the tracker. The second end is connected to the first end by an extension member to laterally space the tracker coupling interface from the bone coupling interface, e.g. to move the tracker away from an incision. In a resection guided embodiment, an apparatus comprises a body having a tracker coupling interface on an upper surface and a plurality of bone engaging projections extending from an under surface. Some projections are configured for positioning the platform in a same repeatable mounting position. The mounting position is defined by a cut line and an impression defined by the platform.

    Abstract: Described are targets for use in optical tracking, as well as related methods. In some implementations, a target comprises a planar surface with an optically detectable pattern thereon, and at least one protrusion extending from the planar surface. In other implementations, a target comprises a planar surface with an optically detectable pattern thereon, with a specular reflective region. The optically detectable pattern provides accurate position information of the target, and provides accurate orientation information of the target about a first axis, but may not provide accurate orientation information of the target about other axes. The at least one protrusion or the specular reflective region provide accurate information of orientation of the target, particularly orientations about axes other than the first axis.

    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.
