Abstract
Systems and methods for calculating external bone loss for alignment of pre-diseased joints comprising: generating a three-dimensional ('3D') computer model of an operative area from at least two two-dimensional (“2D”) radiographic images, wherein at least a first radiographic image is captured at a first position, and wherein at least a second radiographic image is captured at a second position, and wherein the first position is different than the second position; identifying an area of bone loss on the 3D computer model; and applying a surface adjustment algorithm to calculate an external missing bone surface fitting the area of bone loss.
