A computer-implemented method of pre-operatively evaluating bone structure for use of a bone graft in a surgical procedure can comprise generating a three-dimensional bone model of a bone of a patient for output in a video display unit, determining a volume of interest (VOI) on the three-dimensional bone model where a bone defect exists, adding an internal bone property for bone matter of the bone structure to the three-dimensional bone model at the volume of interest, analyzing the internal bone property in the volume of interest relative to a treatment for a bone defect, and outputting indicia on the video display unit that indicates utility of a bone graft for the treatment. A surgical planning system can comprise memory having instructions for implementing the computer-implemented method.
