Note that in step 17, a user 1002 has positioned the active model 1316 of the first metatarsal 208 relative to an active model 1316 of the medial cuneiform 202. For the illustrated embodiment, the distal end of the active model 1316 of the medial cuneiform 202 will receive an osteotomy and the proximal end 1326 of the active model 1316 of the first metatarsal 208 will receive an osteotomy. The user 1002 has repositioned the active model 1316 of the first metatarsal 208 relative to an active model 1316 of the medial cuneiform 202 to provide a correction, a corrected positioning/orientation. In one embodiment, the user 1002 may use a context model 1318 of the second metatarsal 210 as a reference feature and may reposition the active model 1316 of the first metatarsal 208 until the active model 1316 of the first metatarsal 208 is parallel and/or substantially parallel to the context model 1318 of the second metatarsal 210. Note that the user 1002 may confirm the corrected positioning in the sagittal plane 262, frontal plane 264, and transverse plane 266. Step 17 may also be a key step and a user 1002 may complete this step independently and/or with the assistance of the system 1000.
