The method comprises the computer-implemented steps of being 0 responsive to patient specific information data for deriving patient data, where the patient specific information data is indicative of one or more dynamic characteristics, and being responsive to the patient data for providing 3D model data of the joint, such that the 3D model data shows the orthopaedic implant in an alignment configuration based on the patient specific information data.300 START receive, via the data interface, patient specific 310 information data being indicative of one or more dynamic characteristics 320 calculate patient data according to the patient specific information data calculate alignment information data for the 330 orthopaedic implant according to the patient i data -- - - - - - - - - - - -L- - - - - ----------receive, via the data interface, patient acquired data being indicative of one or more desired 340 post-implant activities, the patient acquired data comprising post-implant activities preference data 350 calculate a set of possible alignment information data according to the patient data and the patient acquired data r- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -select alignment information data from the set of -360 possible alignment information data according to the post-implant activities preference data load, from a database, library alignment information data, compare the selected 370 alignment information data with the library alignment information data to give optimized alignment information data END FIGUR
