Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for developing a library of pre-constructed non-patient specific bone-implant meshes from a set of implant candidates used clinically for implantation into a bone structure of a group of people undergoing a surgical procedure, one or more of the pre-constructed bone-implant meshes used for finite element analysis of a combination of one or more implants within a patient-specific bone structure, the method comprising: a) creating, using a computing system, an initial implant mesh for each of the implant candidates from the set of implant candidates; b) modifying, using said computer system, each initial implant mesh by adding a meshed portion of non-patient-specific surrounding material to create a plurality of non-patient-specific bone-implant meshes; and c) collecting, using said computing system, said plurality of non-patient-specific bone-implant meshes to define the library of pre-constructed non-patient-specific bone-implant meshes.
