Claim One:
1. A method of generating a patient-specific prosthetic implant, the method comprising: generating a three-dimensional electronic representation of a human anatomical feature of a unique patient; identifying one or more representative surface curvature features on the three-dimensional electronic representation; selecting a virtual implant template of the human anatomical feature from a database of virtual implant templates, virtually test-fitting the identified one or more representative surface curvature features of the three-dimensional electronic representation with one or more corresponding surface curvature features of the selected virtual implant template of the human anatomical feature; associating the three-dimensional electronic representation with the selected virtual implant template, and generating the patient-specific prosthetic implant based on the selected virtual implant template, the patient-specific prosthetic implant having surface curvature features that imitate those of the human anatomical feature and that are specific to the unique patient.
