Claim 15:
16. A method of planning an orthopaedic procedure comprising:
selecting a bone model from a plurality of bone models by interacting with a graphical user interface;
selecting an implant model from a plurality of implant models by interacting with the graphical user interface;
displaying in a first display window of a graphical user interface a selected one of the implant models and a selected one of the bone models relative to a first image plane;
determining an outer perimeter and an inner perimeter along a first reference plane, wherein the inner and outer perimeters are respectively associated with inner and outer profiles of a cortical wall of the selected bone model;
determining a value of a cortical area and a value of a contact area, wherein the cortical area corresponds to an area between the inner perimeter and the outer perimeter along the first reference plane, and the contact area corresponds to a first region of overlap between the selected implant model and the cortical area in which the selected implant model contacts the selected bone model along the first reference plane; and
displaying in the first display window at least one indicator relating to the value of the contact area.
