In another embodiment, the resection guide is designed to approach and engage a metatarsal from the medial side of the bone. Furthermore, a surgeon can define a length and width for the bone engagement surface 1110, 1120. Advantageously, a surgeon can define, alter, or adjust the bone engagement surface 1110, 1120 to suit their preferences, the needs of the patient, or the like. By adjusting the bone engagement surface 1110, 1120, a surgeon can impact how the resection guide 820a,b seats on the bones during the surgical procedure. In one embodiment, a surgeon may want a loose fit while another surgeon may want a tighter fit. Alternatively, or in addition, a surgeon can choose to position the resection guide 820 at another position on a particular surface of a bone. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that changing the position of the resection guide 820 can change the makeup and configuration of bone engagement surface 848 because the surface contacting the resection guide 820 will change. In one embodiment, the surgeon may alter predefined configurations or choose a configuration from a set of optional configurations. Alternatively, or in addition, a surgeon may define a resection guide 820 from scratch.
