1. A surgical instrument assembly comprising:
a processor;
a surgical instrument configured to operate on an anatomical structure, the surgical instrument including a cutting tip configured to remove anatomical material from a target location of the anatomical structure;
a display coupled to the processor and attached to the surgical instrument, the display configured to display fluoroscopic data of the anatomical structure, the fluoroscopic data generated by an imaging device;
an orientation sensor configured to generate real-time orientation information based on an orientation of the surgical instrument;
a memory in communication with the processor, the memory having stored therein instructions that, upon execution by the processor, cause:
the surgical instrument assembly to receive the fluoroscopic data in real-time from the imaging device;
the display to display a position of the cutting tip relative to the target location on the fluoroscopic data of the anatomical structure;
generating a real-time visual indicator based on the real-time orientation information with respect to a direction of X-ray travel from an X-ray transmitter of the imaging device to an X-ray receiver of the imaging device, wherein the real-time visual indicator is generated as a predetermined visual indication as a result of the surgical instrument being aligned with the direction of X-ray travel; and
the display to display the real-time visual indicator, wherein the display displays the predetermined visual indication when the surgical instrument is aligned with the direction of X-ray travel from the X-ray transmitter to the X-ray receiver.
