Claim 28:
29. A system for planning an orthopaedic procedure comprising:
a computing device including a processor coupled to a memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute a planning environment including a display module, a spatial module and a comparison module;
wherein the memory is configured to store an implant model and a bone model;
wherein the spatial module is configured to establish a perimeter along a reference plane, and the perimeter is associated with a profile of a cortical wall of the bone model;
wherein the display module is configured to display in a display window of a graphical user interface the implant model and the bone model relative to an image plane; and
wherein the comparison module is configured to determine a value of a cortical area and a value of a contact area, the cortical area bounded by the perimeter, and the contact area corresponding to a region of overlap between the implant model and a cortical area in which the implant model contacts the bone model along the reference plane.
