Paragraph Number

190

The exports (1804, 1812, 2202, 2306, and 2308) may be inputs for a variety of 3rd party tools 2310 including a manufacturing tool, a simulation tool, a virtual reality tool, an augmented reality tool, an operative procedure simulation tool, a robotic assistance tool, and the like. A surgeon can then use these tools when performing an osteotomy procedure or for rehearsals and preparation for the osteotomy procedure. For example, a physical model of the bones, patient specific cutting guide 1806, and/or fixators can be fabricated, and these can be used for a rehearsal operative procedure. Alternatively, a surgeon can use the bone model 1804, selected template cutting guide model 1834, and/or a fixator model to perform a simulated osteotomy procedure using an operative procedure simulation tool.
