Content
In a step 108, the model(s) may be used to manufacture patient-specific instrumentation and/or implants. This may be done via any known manufacturing method, including casting, forging, milling, additive manufacturing, and/or the like. Additive manufacturing may provide unique benefits, as the model may be directly used to manufacture the instrumentation and/or implants (without the need to generate molds, tool paths, and/or the like beforehand). Such instrumentation may optionally include a targeting guide, trajectory guide, drill guide, cutting guide, positioner, positioning guide, tendon trajectory guide, or the like.
