Content
Next, the method 1700 may design 1710 a patient specific cutting guide model based on the preliminary cutting guide model. The design step 1710 may be completely automated or may optionally permit a user to make changes to a preliminary cutting guide model or partially completed patient specific cutting guide model before the patient specific cutting guide model is complete. A preliminary cutting guide model and patient specific cutting guide model are two examples of an instrument model. As used herein, "instrument model" refers to a model, either physical or digital, that represents an instrument, tool, apparatus, or device. Examples, of an instrument model can include a cutting guide model, a patient specific cutting guide model, and the like. In one embodiment, a patient specific cutting guide and a patient specific cutting guide model may be unique to a particular patient and that patient’s anatomy and/or condition.
