1. A method of virtually assessing the fit of a prosthesis for placement on a resected bone surface, the method comprising the steps of:

  • obtaining a three-dimensional contour of the resected bone surface;

    creating a two-dimensional outline of the resected bone surface based on the three-dimensional contour of the resected bone surface;

    creating a two-dimensional outline of a first prosthesis; and

    comparing the two-dimensional outline of the resected bone surface with the two-dimensional outline of the first prosthesis.
