Abstract
A method and a corresponding device is proposed, for determining a location on a bone surface and for performing a simulation of an insertion of an implant based on the determined location. The simulation may comprise the steps of identifying an implantation axis of the bone in the first image, and aligning a visualization of the implant with the implantation axis, with respect to the determined location.
