Content
As used herein, "template guide" refers to a guide configured, designed, and/or engineered to serve as a template for creating, generating, or fabricating a patient-specific guide. In one aspect, the template guide may be used, as-is, without any further changes, modifications, or adjustments and thus become a patient-specific guide. In another aspect, the template guide may be modified, adjusted, or configured to more specifically address the goals, objectives, or needs of a patient or a surgeon and by way of the modifications become a patient-specific guide. The patient-specific guide can be used by a user, such as a surgeon, to guide making one or more resections of a structure, such as a bone for a procedure. Accordingly, a template guide model can be used to generate a patient-specific guide model. The patient-specific guide model may be used in a surgical procedure to address, correct, or mitigate effects of the identified deformity and may be used to generate a patient-specific guide that can be used in a surgical procedure for the patient.
