Claim:
1. A method of preoperatively planning an arthroplasty procedure on a femur of a patient, wherein an implant is implanted on the femur of the patient as part of the arthroplasty procedure, the method comprising: displaying on a three dimensional computer model of the femur a first point t a most distal location on a condylar surface of the femur and a second point a location on the condylar surface of the femur proximal the first point; using the first point and second point to position a three dimensional computer model of the implant relative to the three dimensional computer model of the femur, the position of the three dimensional computer model of the implant relative to the three dimensional computer model of the femur being reflective of the implant being implanted on the femur; and computer defining a resection of the femur with the three dimensional computer model of the implant in the position relative to the three dimensional computer model of the femur.
