Content

In another example, the anatomical data about a patient available from the medical imaging and/or a model of patient anatomy (e.g., bone model) can be used to define other instruments for a surgical procedure. For example, when a Lapidus procedure is performed it can be helpful to have a positioner that can be placed between the first metatarsal 208 and the second metatarsal 210 to position the first metatarsal 208 for the surgical procedure. The positioner can be patient-specific and/or can be patient-matched (patient-matched refers to an instrument or device that is selected from a set of pre-fabricated instruments or devices to satisfactorily service a user based on a set of characteristics, such as size of the foot, size of the deformity, angles for certain landmarks, angles for a deformity, type of deformity, size of the bone, and the like). Alternatively, or in addition, a positioner can be used with the bone model 404 to assist in positioning one or more models of bones of a patient in order to define, determine, and/or design one or more other instruments of a system (e.g., resection guide 820a, resection guide 820b, resection guide 820c, or the like).
