1. A system for facilitating surgical placement of an implant at a patient's bone, the system comprising:
a non-transitory memory device storing instructions, that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform tasks comprising:
obtaining a representation of the patient's bone;
identifying pairs of landmarks on the representation of the patient's bone;
generating, for each pair of landmarks, a line intersecting the landmarks;
determining, using the plurality of lines, a coordinate system for identifying a version and inclination of an implant; and
guiding, using the coordinate system, the surgical placement of the implant onto the patient's bone consistent with a plan for the version and the inclination of the implant relative to the patient's bone.
