For example, a surgeon may visually check, using medical image 1400, that the proximal resection feature 902 extends from medial to lateral on a trajectory that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the second metatarsal 210. Alternatively, or in addition, a surgeon may check (e.g., visually) that the distal resection feature 904 extends from medial to lateral on a trajectory that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the first metatarsal 208 (e.g., when the first metatarsal 208 is in a deformed position). Alternatively, or in addition, a surgeon may check (e.g., visually) that an arm and holes 940 of a proximal bone attachment feature 908 extend from the body 900 proximal to distal on a trajectory that is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the second metatarsal 210. Further, the surgical procedure may check (e.g., visually) that the arm and holes 940 of the proximal bone attachment feature 908 will align from proximal to distal with an arm and holes 940 of the distal bone attachment feature 910 postoperatively once the osteotomies are completed and the first metatarsal 208 is brought in contact with the medial cuneiform 202 during reduction. Such visual checks at one or more stages of a surgical procedure may assist a surgeon in validating that the preoperative plan 506 is the plan to continue and may provide assurance that osteotomies formed using the resection guide 820c will be in and where the surgeon desires to form them.
