FIG. 6 illustrates an exemplary apparatus configured to determine a deformity, according to one embodiment. In one embodiment, the apparatus 402 may include a deformity detection module 422. The deformity detection module 422 determines or identifies one or more deformities or other anomalies based on the anatomic data 412. The deformity may include a deformity between two bones of a patient’s foot as represented in the bone model 404. In one embodiment, the deformity detection module 422 may compare the anatomic data 412 to a general model that is representative of most patient’s anatomies and that does not have a deformity or anomaly. In one embodiment, if the anatomic data 412 does not match the general model a deformity is determined. Various deformities may be detected including those that have well-known names for the condition and those that are unnamed.
