Abstract:
A method for implanting a spinal plate includes the steps of displaying information about target vertebrae on which the implantation is to be performed and inserting a spacing device between two adjacent vertebrae to achieve a desired relationship there between. The method further includes planning placement of the spinal plate to achieve a desired relationship between the two adjacent vertebrae and defining a virtual cutting boundary on a virtual representation of each of the first and the second vertebrae according to the planned placement of the spinal plate. The method further includes tracking the vertebrae using a tracking array and tracking a position of a cutting tool held by a force feedback device as the tool is manipulated to form a sculpted cavity independently on each vertebrae for receiving the spinal plate, and providing force feedback to the user indicative of interaction between the tool and the virtual cutting boundary.

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the virtual cutting boundaries correspond to one or more dimensions of the spinal plate.
