Content
Next, the method 300 may design 310 a patient-specific guide model based on the preliminary guide model. The design step 310 may be completely automated or may optionally permit a user to make changes to a preliminary guide model or partially completed patient-specific guide model before the patient-specific guide model is complete. A preliminary guide model and patient-specific guide model are two examples of an instrument model. As used herein, "instrument model" refers to a model, either physical or digital, that represents an instrument, tool, apparatus, or device. Examples of an instrument model can include a cutting guide model, a resection guide model, a dissection guide model, an alignment guide model, a reduction guide model, a patient-specific tendon trajectory guide model, and the like. In one embodiment, a patient-specific guide and a patient-specific guide model may be unique to a particular patient and that patient’s anatomy and/or condition.
