Claim 0:
1. 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 one or more implant models and one or more bone models;
wherein the spatial module is configured to establish an outer perimeter and an inner perimeter along a first reference plane, and the inner and outer perimeters are associated with respective inner and outer profiles of a cortical wall of the selected bone model;
wherein the display module is configured to display 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;
wherein the comparison module is configured to determine a value of a cortical area and a value of a contact area, 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
wherein the comparison module is configured to cause the display model to display at least one indicator relating to the value of the contact area in the graphical user interface.
