Abstract

A method for providing surgical navigation includes tracking poses of a surgical tool as the surgical tool modifies a bone and performing a constructive solid geometry (CSG) operation using a model of the bone and an accumulation of the tracked poses of the surgical tool. An intersection of the accumulation of the tracked poses with the model of the bone corresponds to a modification of the bone by the surgical tool. The method also includes displaying an image based on a result of the CSG operation.
