The repository 1502 may include any number of, and/or a variety of template cutting guide models 1236. The template cutting guide models 1236 may be distinguished based on a gender or age of the patient, which joint of a midfoot, hind foot, or ankle will be cut, which material will be used for the template cutting guide, and the like. The template cutting guide model 1236 may differ from each other in what degree of deformity correction the template cutting guide model 1236 is designed to provide. In addition, the template cutting guide models 1236 may be distinguished based how one or more features of the template cutting guide model 1236 are positioned, arranged, and/or configured relative to each other. For example in certain template cutting guide models 1236, the number, position, and/or configuration of alignment features and/or bone attachment features (e.g., holes) may vary based on needs or preferences of patients, the nature of the deformity, and/or surgeon preferences.
