A transformation matrix is generated that transforms a contour of a portion of the bone in the initial image to satisfy a defined rule for conforming to a contour of a corresponding portion of the bone in the target image. A transformed location data structure is generated based on applying the transformation matrix to the initial location data structure. A graphical representation of the implant device is displayed overlaid at locations on the target image of the bone determined based on the transformed location data structure.
