Abstract
Disclosed are methods and systems to provided planning tools for surgery, particularly for THA. Images of musculoskeletal structure of a patient (e.g. associated with respective planes and in a same or different functional position) may be displayed together and via co-registration and spatial transformations, 3D implants or other objects may be rendered and overlaid in a same position correctly with respect to each image. Measures may be represented with respect to various planes associated with the respective image and/or with respect to an existing implant. A safe zone (graphical element) may be rendered and overlaid with respect to each displayed image to indicate a clinically accepted safe range of positions for the 3D implant. Different instances of implants having respective characteristics affecting range of motion may be available for use during a procedure. For a set of available implants minimal and maximal safe zones may be presented for planning assistance.
