1. A system for assisting an object manipulation in a sterile field during a surgery, the system comprising:
a tracking device for tracking at least the object relative to a bone while the at least one object and the bone are in a sterile field in which surgery is being performed, and for generating tracking data for the object;
at least one processing device positioned inside or outside of the sterile field, for generating tracking information related to the object by processing the tracking data received from the tracking device;
a sterilized displaying device located in a volume within the sterile field defined as being above a plane of an operating table, the volume being delimited by a periphery of the operating table, the displaying device for displaying the tracking information received from the processing device to the operator during the surgery, the displaying device having a touch-screen located in the volume for interaction with the operator; and
a support connected to the displaying device and positioning the displaying device over the operating table and into said volume of the sterile field.
