Customized patient surgical plan

Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed which generate surgical plans that have been customized for a particular patient. A client generates a surgical plan request that includes data relevant to a patient and an orthopaedic surgical procedure to be performed upon the patient. The surgical plan system receives the surgical plan request, generates a surgical plan that has been customized based upon the data of the surgical plan request, and transmits the customized surgical plan to the client.
