A surgical device adapted for use with an image guided surgical system to
facilitate monitoring inter-dependently mobile bone elements. A rigidly
connected multiple-point anchor assembly is releasably engageable to at
least two inter-dependently mobile bone elements and immobilizes the bone
elements such that no relative movement therebetween is possible, and a
complex rigid body comprising the immobilized bone elements and the
multiple-point anchor assembly is formed. A trackable member is fastened
to the multiple-point anchor assembly and comprises a detectable element
adapted to be located and tracked in three dimensional space by the image
guided surgical system, thereby defining position and movement of the
complex rigid body.
