FIG. 6 illustrates an exemplary provision module 430 configured to provide a preliminary guide model, according to one embodiment. The provision module 430 may accept anatomic data 412 and a location / patient specific feature 428. In the illustrated embodiment, the provision module 430 may generate a preliminary guide model 438 (e.g., generate from ‘scratch’) or the provision module 430 may select a template guide model 436 automatically from a set of template guide models 436 stored in a repository 602. The provision module 430 may incorporate a variety of parameters in order to provision, generate, determine, or select a template guide model 436. For example, in addition to the anatomic data 412, the provision module 430 may include patient imaging data, deformity parameters for a variety of angular deformities (in all 3 planes) of the midfoot or hind foot and ankle where tendon deployment procedure could be used, patient preferences, and/or surgeon input parameters.
