Abstract:
1. A method for verifying compatibility between a first part and a second part of a joint prosthesis, with respect to at least one articulation parameter, the method comprising: providing or receiving at least one two-dimensional reference template defining at least one verification plane and obtained on a basis of the first part, one or more constraints relating to the second part, and the at least one articulation parameter, the reference template comprising an alignment reference and one or more boundaries; providing or receiving a two-dimensional prosthesis template corresponding to a shape of the second part, as viewed in the at least one verification plane; aligning the prosthesis template with the at least one reference template by superimposing the two templates and aligning the prosthesis template to the reference template using the alignment reference; and considering the second part as compatible with the first part if the shape of the second part lies within the one or more boundaries of the at least one reference template, when the at least one reference template and the prosthesis template are aligned.
