Claim 1:
2. A computer-based method of claim 1, further comprising a step of compensating a thickness of an articular cartilage, wherein said step further comprises steps of—
computing a three-dimensional cartilage information of the relevant bone from at least one of a bone database and a patient's CT arthrogram data, wherein said bone database and arthrogram data must be in a form of images, individual points (point-cloud data), surfaces, or solid bodies;
merging the patient's three-dimensional anatomic information with the referencing three-dimensional cartilage information;
reconstructing a three-dimensional model of the cartilage, based on the merged information, wherein said three-dimensional model of the cartilage comprises a contour and a solid body; and
generating a three-dimensional model of the cartilage-compensated head by combining the three-dimensional model of the head with the three-dimensional model of the cartilage.
