This is from a German surgery report, patient had been in a car accident and suffered broken thoracic vertebrae.
Optical guidance was used in the surgery, a laminectomy and reduction with osteosynthesis and internal fixator.
The word "Stern" appears as follows:
"Anschließend wird der Stern am BWK7-Dornfortsatz befestigt und die Navigation eingerichtet."
From context it seems that the Stern is a type of attachment or part of the focusing for the optical guidance, but I have never seen this word used in this context and I can't find it by googling either. Can anyone help me figure out what "Stern" means here and what it is in English?
Thanks!
Stephen
