Paragraph Number

10

Defining one or more guide features of the preliminary cutting guide model further may include: defining a first slot configured to guide formation of a first cut surface of a first bone of the patient corresponding to a first modeled bone; defining a second slot configured to guide formation of a second cut surface of a second bone of the patient corresponding to a second modeled bone; and where the first slot and second slot are positioned such that fixing the first cut surface of the first bone to the second cut surface of the second bone mitigates the condition. The method may include selecting the preliminary cutting guide model from a repository of template cutting guide models, each template cutting guide model configured for an osteotomy procedure configured to correct one of a plurality of conditions. The method may include defining a coupler configured to engage an alignment guide, the alignment guide configured to indicate a resulting alignment of patient body parts upon completion of the osteotomy procedure. The bone model is derived from patient imaging data generated while the patient places their weight on at least one joint involved in the osteotomy procedure.
