Arthroplasty system and related methods

A method of manufacturing an arthroplasty jig, the method comprising utilizing a computer processing device to perform the operations of:

• a.) generate a bone model, wherein the bone model includes a three dimensional computer model of at least a portion of a knee joint surface of a patient femur to undergo an arthroplasty procedure;
• b.) identify at least one of a most distal point and a most posterior point of a condyle articular surface of the bone model;
• c.) generate an implant model, wherein the implant model includes a three dimensional computer model of at least a portion of a joint surface of a femoral arthroplasty knee implant to be used in the arthroplasty procedure;
• d.) identify at least one of a most distal point and a most posterior point of a condyle articular surface of the implant model;
• e.) move at least one of the bone model and the implant model so the at least one of the most distal point and the most posterior point of the condyle articular surface of the bone model generally positionally correspond with the at least one of the most distal point and the most posterior point of the condyle articular surface of the implant model;
• and
• f.) employ data obtained from operation e.) in the manufacture the arthroplasty jig.
