Abstract

A device for detecting and measuring a change in angular position with respect to a reference plane is useful in surgical procedures for orienting various instruments, prosthesis, and implants with respect to anatomical landmarks. One embodiment of the device uses three orthogonal rate sensors (32, 34, 36), along with integrators (48) and averagers (50), to determine angular position changes using rate of change information. A display (40) provides position changes from a reference position. Various alignment guides (308) are useful with surgical instruments to obtain a reference plane.
