Claim:
1. A method of generating a correction plan for correcting a deformed bone comprising the steps of: displaying on a visual medium a first image of the deformed bone in a first plane; overlaying a model bone having a first configuration on the first image of the deformed bone in the first plane and manipulating the model bone into a second configuration being substantially similar to the first image of the deformed bone in the first plane; displaying on the visual medium a second image of the deformed bone in a second plane; after manipulating the model bone into the second configuration, overlaying the model bone in the second configuration on the second image of the deformed bone in the second plane and manipulating the model bone into a third configuration being substantially similar to the second image of the deformed bone in the second plane; displaying a model of at least one fixation ring; and manipulating the model of the at least one fixation ring so that the at least one fixation ring is in a desired position relative to the model bone in the third configuration.
