ABSTRACT:
A surgical drill for use with a computer assisted surgery system. In a first embodiment, at least three localizing emitters are mounted on and integral with each side of the drill housing, the emitters on each side arranged such that they are visible to a localizing device when that side is facing the localizing device. The emitters on each side are spaced sufficiently apart from one another to provide accurate pose information. In a second embodiment, the emitters are mounted on both sides of a two-sided fin assembly attached to the housing.
