Patent attributes
A surgical system includes a trial connected with a first image guide oriented relative to a sensor to communicate a signal representative of the trial relative to a patient anatomy. A tracking device includes the sensor and communicates with a processor to generate a storable image of the trial relative to the patient anatomy for display from a monitor. A spinal implant is connected with a second image guide oriented relative to the sensor to communicate a signal representative of the spinal implant relative to the patient anatomy. The sensor receives the signal of the second image guide and communicates with the processor to generate an image of the spinal implant in real time for display from the monitor in a configuration to align the spinal implant in real time with the stored image of the trial. In some embodiments, methods, spinal constructs, implants and surgical instruments are disclosed.
