Orthopaedic planning systems and methods of repair

A method of planning an orthopaedic procedure comprising:

• selecting a bone model from a plurality of bone models by interacting with a graphical user interface;
• selecting an implant model from a plurality of implant models by interacting with the graphical user interface;
• displaying in a first display window of a graphical user interface a selected one of the implant models and a selected one of the bone models relative to a first image plane;
• determining an outer perimeter and an inner perimeter along a first reference plane, wherein the inner and outer perimeters are respectively associated with inner and outer profiles of a cortical wall of the selected bone model;
• determining a value of a cortical area and a value of a contact area, wherein the cortical area corresponds to an area between the inner perimeter and the outer perimeter along the first reference plane, and the contact area corresponds to a first region of overlap between the selected implant model and the cortical area in which the selected implant model contacts the selected bone model along the first reference plane;
• and
• displaying in the first display window at least one indicator relating to the value of the contact area.

A system for planning an orthopaedic procedure comprising:

• a computing device including a processor coupled to a memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute a planning environment including a display module, a spatial module and a comparison module;
• wherein the memory is configured to store an implant model and a bone model;
• wherein the spatial module is configured to establish a perimeter along a reference plane, and the perimeter is associated with a profile of a cortical wall of the bone model;
• wherein the display module is configured to display in a display window of a graphical user interface the implant model and the bone model relative to an image plane;
• and
• wherein the comparison module is configured to determine a value of a cortical area and a value of a contact area, the cortical area bounded by the perimeter, and the contact area corresponding to a region of overlap between the implant model and a cortical area in which the implant model contacts the bone model along the reference plane.
