Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are systems and methods for a computerized framework that provides novel mechanisms for determining the automatic placement of a reference grid and an anatomical reference frame (ARF) of a bone. The disclosed framework is operational for the enablement of computerized mechanisms that, based on a three-dimensional (3D) model of a distal femur, can determine, provide and/or display the anatomically correct positions of femoral tunnels and/or other forms of surgical landmarks surgeons rely on for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) procedures. The disclosed framework is also operational for the enablement of computerized mechanisms that, based on a three-dimensional (3D) model of a proximal tibia, can determine, provide and/or display the anatomically correct positions of tibial tunnels and/or other forms of surgical landmarks surgeons rely on for ACL procedures.
