Content

FIG. 12B illustrates a resection interface 884 (see dashed oval). Prior to the osteotomies, the resection interface 884 can include a distal end of the tibia 226 and a proximal end of the talus 222. Once the osteotomies are performed, the resection interface 884 can include the resected surfaces on the distal end of the tibia 226 and a proximal end of the talus 22. Once the osteotomies are reduced, the resection interface 884 includes the resected surfaces abutting each other. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that for a given arthrodesis, ankle fusion procedure, the configuration of the osteotomies can be varied based on the experience level and/or desires of the surgeon in order to accomplish a successful fusion. Furthermore, the space between osteotomies and other structures of the ankle that a surgeon desires to preserve can be limited and thus require extra care. Advantageously, the present disclosure includes aspects to assist with accomplishing the desired osteotomies and preserving the surrounding structures. In one embodiment, these aspects can include one or more resection guards 870 and/or one or more stops. In certain embodiments, a resection guard 870 can serve as a stop.
