Abstract
A method for guiding a user during surgical planning includes receiving input information; applying an algorithm to the input information to develop an initial surgical plan; and guiding a user by providing a plurality of suggested actions to the user. If the user performs the plurality of suggested actions, the plurality of suggested actions leads the user to the initial surgical plan. The user has an option to deviate from one or more of the plurality of suggested actions by performing non-suggested actions. Deviation from one or more of the plurality of suggested actions leads to development of a final surgical plan that is different from the initial surgical plan.
