Content

In one embodiment, the anchor feature 942 may be referred to as an oblique hole or an oblique feature. For example, where the first bone attachment feature 908 and/or second bone attachment feature 910 are angled to deploy a fastener 710 into a bone with a trajectory that is parallel to a trajectory for a resection directed by a proximal resection feature 902 and/or distal resection feature 904, the fasteners 710 in the first bone attachment feature 908 and/or second bone attachment feature 910 may not provide a desired level of engagement to retain the resection guide 820b in place during the forming of the osteotomies. Accordingly, a strategically placed anchor feature 942 can be angled (e.g., an oblique angle) relative to one or more bones of the patient such that a fastener 710 in the anchor feature 942 prevents or mitigates movement of the resection guide 820b during a surgical procedure. In one embodiment, the anchor feature 942 is configured to guide a third fastener 710 into a bone at an angle that is not parallel to one or more of the angles of a first fastener 710 deployed in a first bone attachment feature 908 and/or a second fastener 710 deployed in a second bone attachment feature 910.
