In orthopedic surgery, it is important for physicians to completely understand the three-dimensional (3D) anatomical structures for several procedures. With the current revolution in technology in every aspect of our life, mixed reality in the medical field is going to be very useful. However, medicine has a visualization problem hindering how surgeons operate. The surgeons are required to imagine the actual 3D structure of the patient by looking at multiple 2D slices of the patients' body. This process is time consuming, exhausting and requires special skill and experience. Moreover, patients and surgeons are exposed to extra x-ray doses.
