To facilitate assistance of the operating surgeon when determining the disposition of a receiving cavity in the case of a method and a navigation system for creating a cavity to receive an acetabulum in a navigated pelvic bone with the aid of a navigated tool, it is proposed that the tear-drop point on the pelvic bone is located by means of a navigated scanning instrument, from the position data and the plane of the pelvic inlet of said pelvic bone there is determined a tear-drop plane, which lies perpendicular to said plane of the pelvic inlet and extends parallel to a line connecting the two anterior superior iliac spines and through the scanned tear-drop point, that a reference point is determined at a defined height above the tear-drop plane and in a defined position in the anterior-posterior direction and at a defined spacing from the outer surface of the pelvic bone in the lateral-medial direction, and that the tool is worked into the pelvic bone in a desired direction relative to the reference point until a predetermined disposition of the tool relative to the reference point is reached. |
