Content
As shown, the method 120 may begin with a step 122 in which a CT scan (or another three-dimensional image) of the patient’s foot is obtained. The step 122 may include capturing a scan of select bones of a patient or may include capturing additional anatomic information, such as the entire foot. Additionally, or alternatively, the step 122 may include receipt of previously captured image data. Capture of the entire foot in the step 122 may facilitate proper alignment of the first metatarsal with the rest of the foot (for example, with the second metatarsal). Performance of the step 122 may result in generation of a three-dimensional model of the patient’s foot, or three-dimensional surface points that can be used to construct such a three-dimensional model.
