1. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for facilitating individualized kinematically aligned total knee replacements comprising executable code which when executed by a hardware processor, causes the processor to perform steps comprising:

  • obtaining prosthesis data for a selected prosthesis;

    generating anatomical and pathoanatomical data for a specific patient, wherein the anatomical data comprises at least a coronal mechanical lateral distal femoral angle and a posterior condylar axis that is specific to the patient;

    determining an alignment of one or more guides that facilitate a plurality of cuts to be made to a tibia and a femur of the patient comprising generating bone and cartilage resection data based at least in part on the prosthesis data, the anatomical data, and the pathoanatomical data, wherein the bone and cartilage resection data comprises one or more femoral component coronal alignment angles, one or more femoral distal thicknesses, a femoral component axial external rotation angle, one or more femoral posterior resection thicknesses, a tibial component coronal alignment angle relative to the coronal mechanical axis of a tibia of the patient, one or more tibia resection thicknesses, and a tibia sagittal slope; and

    outputting a recommended three-dimensional total knee replacement surgeon plan for the patient via a graphical interface, the recommended three-dimensional total knee replacement surgeon plan comprising the bone and cartilage resection data for facilitating implantation of the prosthesis in the patient.
