Abstract
A method for customizing an interactive boundary based on a patient-specific feature, includes displaying a graphical representation of an implant in virtual coordinate space and displaying a graphical representation of a bone in virtual coordinate space. The method further includes positioning the graphical representation of the implant relative to the graphical representation of the bone based on a user input and extracting reference feature information associated with the virtual representation of the implant. The method further includes mapping the extracted reference feature information to the graphical representation of the bone, receiving information indicative of a positional landmark associated with the bone, and estimating an intersection between the positional landmark and the mapped reference feature. A virtual boundary is generated based, at least in part, on the estimated intersection between the positional landmark and the mapped reference feature.
