Claim 20:
21. The system of claim 14, wherein the one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to determine whether the position of the periphery of the selected orthopaedic implant model relative to the periphery of the simulated resection portion is optimal further comprises one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to:
determine whether a current position causes the periphery of the selected orthopaedic implant model to overhang the periphery of the simulated resection portion; and
responsive to determining that the current position results in overhang, select a different orthopaedic implant model corresponding to an orthopaedic implant and having an associated size that is smaller than the selected orthopedic implant model.
