The selection module 434 may be configured to automatically select a template guide model 436 and/or provide an automatic template guide model 436 recommendation that can be changed by a user, such as a surgeon. For example, in one embodiment, the provision module 430 and/or selection module 434 includes an artificial intelligence or machine learning module. The artificial intelligence or machine learning module is configured to implement one or more of a variety of artificial intelligence modules that may be trained for selecting a template guide model 436 based on anatomic data 412 and/or other input parameters. In one embodiment, the artificial intelligence or machine learning module may be trained using a large data set of anatomic data 412 for suitable template guide models 436 identified and labeled in the dataset by professionals for use to treat a particular deformity. The artificial intelligence or machine learning module may implement, or use, a neural network configured according to the training such that as the artificial intelligence or machine learning module is able to select a suitable template guide model 436. The template guide model 436 selected by the selection module 434 can become the preliminary guide model 438.
