Content
In addition to or in the alternative to the step 108, the model(s) may be used to select from available sizes of implants and/or instruments and advise the surgeon accordingly. For example, where a range of cutting guides are available for a given procedure, analysis of the CAD data may facilitate pre-operative selection of the optimal cutting guide and/or optimal placement of the cutting guide on the bone. Similarly, if a range of implants may be used for a given procedure, analysis of the CAD data may facilitate pre-operative selection of the optimal implant(s). More particularly, properly-sized spacers, screws, bone plates, and/or other hardware may be pre-operatively selected.
