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 first prosthetic component and a second prosthetic component at a first flexion position of a flexion joint and estimating a first estimated separation distance between the first prosthetic component and the second prosthetic component at the first flexion position of the joint for at least one potential orientation of the first prosthetic component. The method also includes determining a first orientation parameter value of the first 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.
