ABSTRACT:
A target socket for frameless stereotactic surgery has a ring with an arcuate band that captures a target ball therein. The ring defines a pair of spaced apart channels which provide the ring with a degree of flexibility. The ring defines a radially oriented gap extending throughout the ring's entire thickness, the gap being spanned by a tightening member which allows a user to easily manually tighten the ring upon a target ball held within the arcuate band. The target socket is also provided with an attachment element for attaching the target socket to a surgical tooling structure. The attachment element has at least three links to provide the target socket with at least six degree of freedom.
