Method And System Of Visualization During Orthopaedic Surgery

A method of visualization during orthopaedic surgery. The method includes the step of a pre-operative planning step comprising displaying an initial three-dimensional image depicting anatomical features of a patient's bone. The image is retrieved by undertaking imaging or scanning of the patient's bone. The image is processed using a processor operable to carry out one or more image processing steps to generate a modified three-dimensional image. A mixed reality visualization device receives the modified three-dimensional image. The method also includes the step of displaying the modified three-dimensional image, via the mixed reality visualization device, and overlaying the modified three-dimensional image on or adjacent the anatomical features of the patient's bone to provide a visual guide to a surgeon while conducting surgery.
