241

In one embodiment, the provision module 430 may include a generator 432 and/or a selection module 434. In one embodiment, the generator 432 is configured to generate a preliminary instrument model 438. In certain embodiments, the generator 432 may generate or create the preliminary instrument model based on anatomic data and/or a bone model or a combination of these and no other inputs. (e.g. no model or predesigned structure, template, or prototype). Alternatively, or in addition, the generator 432 may generate or create the preliminary instrument model using a standard set of features or components that can be combined to form the preliminary instrument model. The generated preliminary instrument model may subsequently be modified or revised by an automated process, and/or manual process, to generate the preliminary instrument model used in this disclosure.
