Abstract
A system and method for tracking progress of insertion of a rod in a bone includes a bone fragment including a central canal, a plurality of sensors including first and second sensors, and a computer. The first sensor is attached to the rod and the second sensor is attached to the bone fragment. The rod is inserted into the central canal of the bone fragment. The computer displays a location of the rod in the central canal. The location is based on at least a pose of the central canal relative to the second sensor, dimensional data of the rod relative to the first sensor, and tracking data provided by the sensors. The tracking data includes a position of the first sensor relative to the second sensor.
