Abstract
A method for guiding implantation of a first prosthetic component includes determining, using a virtual model of a joint including first and second bones, a planned orientation of the first prosthetic component in the joint, applying a valgus/varus moment to the joint at a plurality of flexion positions of the joint, and recording positional data indicative of relative positions of the first bone and the second bone at the plurality of flexion positions of the joint. The method also includes calculating estimated separation distances between the first prosthetic component and a second prosthetic component, adjusting the planned orientation of the first prosthetic component in the joint in response to an error between the estimated separation distances and one or more desired separation distances, and guiding implantation of the first prosthetic component on the first bone in accordance with the adjusted planned orientation of the first prosthetic component.
