Content

In certain embodiments, the resection guides 820a, 820b, 820c include a patient-specific bone engagement feature configured to engage at least a portion of at least one foot bone to assist in positioning the resection guide, a first bone attachment feature configured to accept a first fastener that engages the first bone, and a second bone attachment feature configured to accept a second fastener that engages the second bone. The resection guides 820a, 820b, 820c also include a window 836. In one embodiment, the window 836 is positioned in the body between a proximal slot 828 and a distal slot 832. In one embodiment, the window 836 extends from a superior side of the body to an inferior side of the body. In another embodiment, the window 836 is radiolucent such that the window 836 provides visibility of at least one anatomical structure inferior to the resection guide, when the resection guide is in use. In one embodiment, the window 836 is an opening or hole. In another embodiment, the window 836 may be a structure that includes a plurality of openings or holes. In yet another embodiment, the window 836 may be a structure that is opaque to light but is radiolucent when used with an imaging device such as an X-ray machine fluoroscopy machine, or other imaging device. These aspects, as well as others, will be described in further detail in subsequent paragraphs.
