This disclosure relates to systems for assisting surgeons in implanting joint replacement implant components. One aspect provides a system for assisting a surgeon in implanting a joint replacement implant component during a surgery of replacing a joint. The system comprises: an instrument for medullary canal preparation; a video camera to capture image data of the instrument; a computer system to: store a surgical plan; determine a pose of the instrument relative to the bone or the joint based on the image data from the video camera; assess the pose of the instrument against the surgical plan; and provide an indication to the surgeon of a clinical consequence of the pose in relation to the surgical plan.
