Methods and devices for orthopedic templating are presented. In an example embodiment, a template object is displayed on an output device that is also displaying a target object and a reference object. The target object may be displayed at an unknown magnification level, while the reference object is of a known size. By measuring the size of the reference object as displayed, the magnification level of the target object can be determined. Then, the template object or the target object can be sized such that the template object substantially matches at least a section of the target object. Once matched, the template object may be overlaid, transparently or semi-transparently, on or with the target object. The template object may also be rotated or moved so that it aligns with at least the matched part of the target object.
