Advantageously, active model 1316 can provide a highly realistic representation of the physical bones of the patient. These representations are helpful to define one or more osteotomies to be performed on bones represented by the active models 1316. However, modeling, presenting, manipulating, and otherwise working with active model 1316 can consume more computing resources than non-active models 1316. In contrast, context models 1318 include sufficient detail and/or information to give an operator, user, and/or surgeon an understanding of the relationship between bones represented by the active models 1316 and bones represented by the context models 1318 and consume fewer computing resources. Advantageously, the bone models 404 of the present disclosure includes a set of active models 1316 and a set of context models 1318. The context models 1318 are configured to use less/fewer computing resources than the active model 1316. In this manner, the embodiments of the present disclosure optimize the use of computing resources and provide an efficient and effective system 1000 for generating patient-specific devices 1090.
