Content
The output files 1404 may include different combinations of models defined by one or more STL files in a format and/or arrangement that is most suitable for use by the patient-specific device design apparatus 450. For example, for one procedure certain bone models may be active models 1316 while other models are context models 1318. Accordingly, the definitions of the models in the different STL files (e.g., output files 1404) may be customized for a particular surgical procedure. For example, suppose the surgical procedure is a Lapidus, the patient-specific device design apparatus 450 may coordinate with the segmentor 1020 such that active models 1316 are in one STL file while all context models 1318 are in a second different file. Such an organization of the output files 1404 (e.g., STL files) may facilitate operation of the patient-specific device design apparatus 450 using its set of work instructions 1040 and/or workflow 1050.
