1. A method for correcting a deformity in a patient's foot, the method comprising:
obtaining a deformed bone model of a cuneiform of the patient's foot and
a metatarsal of the patient's foot;
virtually repositioning the deformed bone model to simulate reorientation of the metatarsal relative to the cuneiform to correct the deformity to create a virtually repositioned bone model; and
using at least the virtually repositioned bone model to generate a cutting guide model defining:
a first bone engagement surface shaped to match a first contour on the cuneiform;
a second bone engagement surface shaped to match a second contour of the metatarsal; and
a first guide feature that, with the first bone engagement surface overlying the first contour, is positioned to guide resection of at least one of the cuneiform and the metatarsal as part of a correction osteotomy for correcting the deformity.
