Abstract
According to one aspect of the present invention, a computer assisted orthopaedic surgery system for performing joint replacement or resurfacing surgeries includes a computer that contains software that is adapted to permit an operator of the system to physically evaluate post-operative laxity and stiffness of a joint based on planned implant placement, prior to all cuts being made for at least one side of the joint to accommodate the implant and before components of the implant are installed in the joint, wherein the planned implant placement is measured in terms of a position of at least one virtual implant.
