Systems and methods for determining placement of prosthetic components in
joint including defining patient-specific frame of reference for joint,
determining patient-specific postoperative range of motion of joint,
evaluating patient-specific range of motion of joint, automatically
planning placement of components balancing need for range of motion with
prosthesis stability through bony coverage, and applying manual
adjustments to the automatically planned placement of component by giving
greater or lesser weight to need for range of motion or prosthesis
stability through bony coverage. Apparatuses for defining center of
prosthetic femoral head and axis of prosthetic femoral neck including
primary cylinder, first alignment receptacle and second alignment
receptacle, and a divot on exterior of primary cylinder, divot having
normal parallel to longitudinal axis of second alignment receptacle and
position of the divot being translated toward an opening of the first
alignment receptacle on the primary cylinder. Methods for using
apparatuses. Apparatus for mounting spatially tracked device to impactor
for impacting prosthetic cup into reamed socket.
