A method for determining a resection volume of a pathologic femur having a femoral head and a femoral neck is provided. The method may determine a first point of a desired contour based on a pathologic alpha angle of the pathologic femur, determine a second point of the desired contour based on a desired alpha angle of the pathologic femur, determine a third point of the desired contour on the femoral neck of the pathologic femur, and generate a resection volume of the pathologic femur based on the first, second and third points of the desired contour.
