1. A system for use in reducing a fractured bone of a patient, the system comprising:
a computing system configured with instructions that when executed cause the system to carry out the method of:
generating a fractured bone surface image from image data of a fractured bone structure of the patient, the fractured bone surface image data includes a first bone structure portion separated from a second bone structure portion;
forming a reduced bone surface image of the fractured bone structure of the patient, the reduced bone surface image includes the first bone structure portion and the second bone structure portion in a reduced arrangement;
superimposing an implant image of an implant in an installation position on the reduced bone surface image, the implant image configured to contact with the first bone structure portion and the second bone structure portion in the reduced arrangement;
superimposing a patient specific jig image proximate the implant image and the reduced bone surface image, according to the installation position of the implant, the patient specific jig image aligning with and configured to contact with the first bone structure portion and the second bone structure portion in the reduced arrangement;
generating control data from the patient specific jig image; and
sending the control data to a manufacturing machine to manufacture a physical patient specific jig based on the control data.
