Content

FIG. 9G illustrates a resection guide 720g that, like resection guide 720e, includes an auxiliary bone attachment feature 752. Of course, other embodiments of the resection guide 720g may not include an auxiliary bone attachment feature 752. In the illustrated embodiment, the resection guide 720g includes a resection window 756. The resection window 756 is configured to show one or more bones on one side of the resection guide 720g when the resection guide 720g is in use. In the illustrated embodiment, the resection window 756 is positioned between the resection features 722. The resection window 756 can be made up of a single opening, a pair of openings, or a plurality of openings. In one embodiment, the resection window 756 includes a plurality of openings that extend from the medial side 744 to the lateral side 746. In the illustrated embodiment, the plurality of openings have a hexagonal shaped longitudinal cross section. In the illustrated embodiment, the resection window 756 is made up of a plurality of honeycomb openings (e.g., hexagons). Of course, the resection window 756 may have a variety of forms, shapes, sizes, and/or configurations. In one embodiment, the resection window 756 may be a rectangular or other polygonal opening. The resection window 756 may enable a surgeon to view past the resection guide 720 to visualize progress before, during or after one or more dissection or resection steps.
