27. A method for guiding an arthroscopic procedure for removal of bone, the method comprising:
obtaining a first intraoperative digital image based on an output of an intraoperative imaging device resulting from the intraoperative imaging device imaging the bone during a bone removal procedure;
automatically processing pixel data of the first intraoperative digital image to annotate, by an image processing system, the first intraoperative digital image with at least one annotation relating to removal of bone so as to create a first annotated digital image;
displaying, via a display, a graphical user interface comprising the first annotated digital image;
receiving, from a user, at least one input associated with the graphical user interface for modifying at least a portion of the first annotated digital image;
in response to the at least one input, modifying the at least a portion of the first annotated digital image based on the at least one input;
obtaining a second intraoperative digital image based on an output of the intraoperative imaging device resulting from the intraoperative imaging device imaging the bone during the bone removal procedure, wherein the second intraoperative digital image shows partial removal of the bone;
automatically processing pixel data of the second intraoperative digital image to annotate, by the processing system, the second intraoperative digital image so as to create a second annotated digital image; and
displaying, via the display, in real-time the second annotated digital image.
