Despite being demonstrably better than conventional surgical techniques with regards to implant alignment and outlier reduction, computer navigation systems have not faced widespread adoption in surgical operating rooms. It is believed that this is in-part due to the bulky design of the optical tracker assemblies which must be rigidly fixated to a patient’s bone and thus occupy a significant portion of the surgical workspace. The problem motivated Mark Semple (Surgical Technologies Laboratory) to develop a novel flexible pin technology, FlexiPin, that uses significantly more compact and less cumbersome trackers to achieve reliable surgical navigation. Despite its advantages, the FlexiPin’s working principle requires multiple small tracker pins to be fixed on a patient’s bone. To negate this potential drawback, an efficient and safe percutaneous pin anchor insertion solution, the tracker insertion gun, was developed from a joint effort of my colleague at Surgical Technologies Laboratory and I. I played an instrumental role in re-designing the prototype for fabrication. I also fabricated a functional prototype of the device and verified the effectiveness of our concepts.
