Abstract
A computer-implemented method determines an orientation parameter value of a prosthetic component. The method includes receiving a first desired separation distance between a tibial prosthetic component and a femoral prosthetic component at a first flexion position of a knee joint and estimating a first estimated separation distance between the tibial prosthetic component and the femoral prosthetic component at the first flexion position of the knee joint for at least one potential orientation of the femoral prosthetic component. The method also includes determining a first orientation parameter value of the femoral prosthetic component by comparing the first estimated separation distance to the first desired separation distance and outputting the first orientation parameter value via a user interface.
