1. A splint device for guided robotic surgery, said device comprising:
an arcuate splint body having first and second ends and opposing concave and convex surfaces, the splint body defining a plurality of holes spaced apart between the first and second ends, each hole extending between the concave and convex surfaces;
a tracking portion engaged with the convex surface of the splint body between the first and second ends such that at least one of the holes is disposed between the tracking portion and the first end, and at least one of the holes is disposed between the tracking portion and the second end, the tracking portion extending outwardly from the convex surface and having a kinematic mount engaged therewith; and
a fiducial marker element received by a depression defined by an outer surface of the splint body or the tracking portion, the fiducial marker element being received in a predetermined disposition relative to the kinematic mount.
