Content

The position of the proximal resection feature 902 and/or distal resection feature 904 within the body 900, with relation to each other, the orientation of the proximal resection feature 902 and/or distal resection feature 904 between the proximal side 918 and the distal side 920, and/or the angle of the proximal resection feature 902 and/or distal resection feature 904 through the body 900 may be at least partially determined based on a bone model of a patient’s foot. The bone model may be of one bone or of a plurality of bones. The bone model may be defined based on medical imaging of the patient’s foot. In one embodiment, the first trajectory 928 may be at least partially determined based on the bone model. Similarly, the second trajectory 930 may be at least partially determined based on at least one of the bone model and the first trajectory 928. In this manner, at least in certain embodiments, the number, position, orientation, size, length, angle of incidence to the inferior side 916, and the like are or can be patient-specific. Of course, a surgeon can alter or adjust any of these aspects of the resection guide 820b to enable fabrication of a guide that meets the surgeon’s needs, preferences, and/or the needs of the patient and/or the surgical procedure. In one embodiment, the first trajectory 928 and/or the second trajectory 930 are patient-specific.
