Disclosed are methods and systems to provided planning tools for surgery, particularly for THA. Images of musculoskeletal structure of a patient (e.g. associated with respective planes and in a same or different functional position) may be displayed together and via co-registration and spatial transformations, 3D implants or other objects may be rendered and overlaid in a same position correctly with respect to each image. Measures may be represented with respect to various planes associated with the respective image and/or with respect to an existing implant. A safe zone (graphical element) may be rendered and overlaid with respect to each displayed image to indicate a clinically accepted safe range of positions for the 3D implant. Different instances of implants having respective characteristics affecting range of motion may be available for use during a procedure. For a set of available implants minimal and maximal safe zones may be presented for planning assistance.

A tibial baseplate for tibial component of a knee prosthesis including: a bulk solid portion including a proximally facing surface adapted to accommodate a bearing element for the articulation of a femoral component of the knee prosthesis; a plurality of porous portions integral with the bulk solid portion having a porous portion contacting surface opposite to the proximally facing surface adapted to contact a proximal tibia. Advantageously, the plurality of porous portions are seamlessly incorporated and embedded in the bulk solid portion.

Measured forces applied by a medical professional during a gap assessment can be measured. A plurality of force sensors is placed at a lateral ankle position, a medial ankle position, a lateral foot position, and/or a medial foot position, and each detects an applied force during an abduction-adduction examination. Further, a computing device receives, from each of the plurality of sensors during the abduction-adduction examination, data representing an applied force occurring during the abduction-adduction examination at respective ones of the lateral ankle position, the medial ankle position, the lateral foot position, and the medial foot position. The computing device calculates, using the received data, respective peak applied forces during the abduction-adduction examination in extension and flexion, and provides information representing a correlation of the respective peak applied forces with other information.
