Paragraph Number

222

The exports (404, 412, 462, 506, and 508) may be inputs for a variety of 3rd party tools 510 including a manufacturing tool, a simulation tool, a virtual reality tool, an augmented reality tool, an operative procedure simulation tool, a robotic assistance tool, and the like. A surgeon can then use these tools when performing a procedure or for rehearsals and preparation for the procedure. For example, a physical model of the bones, patient-specific instrument 406, and/or fixators can be fabricated, and these can be used for a rehearsal operative procedure. Alternatively, a surgeon can use the bone model 404, preliminary instrument model 438, and/or a fixator model to perform a simulated procedure using an operative procedure simulation tool.
