Patent ID: 8160326

Claim:
A method of surgical modeling, comprising: displaying a set of related two-dimensional (2D) anatomical images; identifying a plurality of anatomical landmarks on the set of related 2D anatomical images; scaling a three-dimensional (3D) representation of at least one prosthesis to match a scale of the 2D anatomical images based at least in part on a relationship between the anatomical landmarks, wherein the at least one prosthesis comprises a parent prosthesis and one or more child prostheses; and utilizing 3D information from the at least one prosthesis along with information based on at least one of the plurality of anatomical landmarks to create procedure-based information, wherein creating procedure-based information comprises predicting a patient's range of motion based on: a) a range of motion of the parent prosthesis and the one or more child prostheses; and b) a relationship between the parent prosthesis, the one or more child prostheses, and one or more of the plurality of anatomical landmarks.
