Figure 15 illustrates an exemplary provision module 1230 configured to provide a preliminary cutting guide model, according to one embodiment. The provision module 1230 may accept anatomic data 1212 and a designation, identifier, label, or name of a deformity 1226. In the illustrated embodiment, the provision module 1230 may generate a preliminary cutting guide model 1238 (e.g., generate from ‘scratch’) or the provision module 1230 may select a template cutting guide model 1236 automatically from a set of template cutting guide models 1236 stored in a repository 1502. The provision module 1230 may incorporate a variety of parameters in order to provision, generate, determine, or select a template cutting guide model 1236. For example, in addition to the anatomic data 1212, the provision module 1230 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 an osteotomy could be used, patient preferences, and/or surgeon input parameters.
