A method of designing a prosthetic implant includes: (a) obtaining three dimensional (3D) data corresponding to an orthopaedic implant or component thereof; (b) obtaining 3D data corresponding to a same type of bone to provide a population of bone data comprising multiple bones; (c) associating at least one of the multiple bones from the population with the 3D data from step (a) to establish a first virtual replacement; (d) taking the first virtual replacement through a simulated range of movement and recording data; (e) associating at least another one of the multiple bones from the population with the 3D data from step (a) to establish a second virtual replacement; (f) taking the second virtual replacement through a simulated range of movement and recording data; and (g) comparing the recorded data from step (d) to that of step (f) to qualitatively evaluate the orthopaedic implant or component thereof. |
