Knee Planning

A method for surgical planning of a knee joint, the method comprising the steps of:

• acquiring imaging data of a patient's knee joint;
• determining a joint line obliquity of the knee joint from the imaging data;
• determining a hip-knee-ankle angle of the knee joint from the imaging data;
• comparing the determined joint line obliquity and hip-knee-ankle angle values to a predetermined reference range for the respective values, and
• generating a surgical plan that includes adjusting any of the joint line obliquity and hip-knee-ankle angle if the determined joint line obliquity or hip-knee-ankle angle falls outside the predetermined reference range.
