Abstract

During surgery, the surgeon’s view of the patient is complemented with imaging that provides an indirect visual feedback of the treated anatomy. For an advanced visualization, existing image-guided surgical systems employ tracking and registration methods to fuse medical images. Lately, medical augmented reality has enabled in situ visualization by registering three-dimensional preoperative data (e.g. CT, MRI, and PET) with two-dimensional intraoperative images (e.g. X-ray, Ultrasound, and Optics). Including the virtual locations of the surgical instruments within the visualization provides the most intuitive way to facilitate surgical navigation since the surgeon mental mapping between medical images, instruments, and patient is not necessary anymore. This book chapter investigates medical augmented reality solutions within orthopaedics and highlights the innovations that lead surgeons in surgical planning, navigation, and education in an efficient and timely manner.
