The export module 804 is configured to enable exporting of a patient-specific guide model 702 for a variety of purposes including, but not limited to, fabrication/manufacture of a patient-specific guide 406 and/or fixator(s), generation of a preoperative plan, generation of a physical bone model matching the bone model 404, and the like. In one embodiment, the export module 804 is configured to export the bone model 404, anatomic data 412, a patient-specific guide model 702, a preoperative plan 806, a fixator model 808, or the like. In this manner the custom instrumentation and/or procedural steps for a tendon deployment procedure can be used in other tools. The preoperative plan 806 may include a set of step by step instructions or recommendation for a surgeon or other staff in performing a tendon deployment procedure such as patient-specific tendon deployment procedure. The preoperative plan 806 may include images and text instructions and may include identification of instrumentation to be used for different steps of the tendon deployment procedure. The instrumentation may include the patient-specific guide 406 and/or one or more fixators. In one embodiment, the export module 804 may provide a fixator model which can be used to fabricate a fixator for the tendon deployment procedure.
