Abstract

The present invention relates to a system and method for identifying position of marker for orthopedic surgery, wherein the system comprises a main sensor and an auxiliary sensor having different sensing schemes, so that during orthopedic surgery, it is possible to flexibly handle a situation where a single sensor fails or a sensing signal cannot be received, thereby accurately identifying the position and posture of a marker.
