Abstract
Disclosed herein is a system and method providing a tool for use by a surgeon, either preoperatively or intra-operatively, to visualize the effect of and select optimal design and placement of an implant used in a total hip replacement surgical procedure on both the range-of-motion of the patient's leg and the jump distance of the implant. This will assist the surgeon in determining the optimal selection and placement of the implant to provide the best outcome for the patient.
