  • Publication number: 20250195143
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of determining fixation of a prosthesis in bone matter based on bone anatomy and density information comprises generating a three-dimensional model of a bone of a patient for output in a video display unit, adding three-dimensional bone density information for the bone matter to the three-dimensional model, simulating a. preparation of the bone to produce a bone surface on the three-dimensional model, simulating placement of the prosthesis in the bone surface, estimating a fixation strength of the prosthesis to the bone matter using the bone density information at the prosthesis, and outputting indicia on the video display unit that indicates risk factors for displacement, of the prosthesis from the bone matter.
