FIG. 8 illustrates an exemplary provision module 430 configured to provide a preliminary instrument model, according to one embodiment. The provision module 430 may accept anatomic data 412 and a designation, identifier, label, or name of a deformity 426. In the illustrated embodiment, the provision module 430 may generate a preliminary instrument model 438 (e.g., generate from ‘scratch’) or the provision module 430 may select a template instrument model 436 automatically from a set of template instrument models 436 stored in a repository 802. The provision module 430 may incorporate a variety of parameters in order to provision, generate, determine, or select a template instrument model 436. For example, in addition to the anatomic data 412, the provision module 430 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.
