Abstract: An example method includes obtaining one or more intraoperative images, wherein: a surgical site includes bones that are not substantially exposed through skin of the patient during the surgery, a connected K-wire is attached to one of the bones, an external portion of the connected K-wire is connected to a fixation device that is attached to the patient; performing a registration process system with corresponding positions in a virtual coordinate system; generating a visualization that includes the models of the bones superimposed on the surgical site; based on the changes to the positions of the external portion of the connected K-wire, updating positions of the models of the bones in the visualization to maintain correspondence between positions of the bones and the positions of the models of the bones.
