## Indications for use
Instruments are tracked by a passive marker sensor system that acquires landmarks of the bone surface when interfaced with computer hardware and software. This enables a surgeon to accurately navigate the position of instrumentation by a virtual 3-D computer generated image for precise bone preparation during intraoperative hip reconstructive procedures. The system is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotaxic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as a long bone, can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model of the anatomy. Example orthopaedic procedures for these instruments include, but are not limited to: -Total Joint Replacement (TJR) *Revision Surgery of TJR *Tumor resection and Bone/Joint Reconstruction
