Abstract
A method for planning the implantation of a prosthetic joint component in a prosthesis-receiving bone is described. Surrounding soft tissue is retracted to expose the prosthesis-receiving bone. A prosthetic joint component planning template comprising a planar template body having a unitary structure is provided. The planning template is positioned in a superimposed orientation with a curvilinear surface of an exposed prosthesis-receiving bone. The position of the planning template is adjusted into a desired superimposed orientation with respect to the prosthesis-receiving bone. At least one of a size and an orientation of the prosthetic joint component is determined through visualization of the planning template and the prosthesis-receiving bone. An apparatus for assisting a user with determining at least one of a size and an orientation of a prosthetic joint component is also provided.
