"Patient specific feature" refers to a feature, function, structure, device, guide, tool, instrument, apparatus, member, component, system, assembly, module, or subsystem that is adjusted, tailored, modified, organized, configured, designed, arranged, engineered, and/or fabricated to specifically address the anatomy, physiology, condition, abnormalities, needs, or desires of a particular patient or surgeon serving the particular patient. In one aspect, a patient specific feature is unique to a single patient and may include features unique to the patient such as a number of cut channels, a number of bone attachment features, a number of bone engagement surfaces, a number of resection features, a depth of one or more cutting channels, an angle for one or more resection channels, a surface contour, component position, component orientation, and/or other features. "Medial resection guide" refers to a resection guide designed, engineered, fabricated, or intended for use with, one, in, or about a medial part, section, surface, portion, or aspect of an anatomical structure such as a bone, digit, limb, or other anatomical structure for one or more steps of a resection procedure. "Lateral resection guide" refers to a resection guide designed, engineered, fabricated, or intended for use with, one, in, or about a lateral part, section, surface, portion, or aspect of an anatomical structure such as a bone, digit, limb, or other anatomical structure for one or more steps of a resection procedure. |

The phrases "connected to," "coupled to" and "in communication with" refer to any form of interaction between two or more entities, including mechanical, electrical, magnetic, electromagnetic, fluid, and thermal interaction. Two components may be functionally coupled to each other even though they are not in direct contact with each other. The term "abutting" refers to items that are in direct physical contact with each other, although the items may not necessarily be attached together. The phrase "fluid communication" refers to two features that are connected such that a fluid within one feature can pass into the other feature. |

Standard medical planes of reference and descriptive terminology are employed in this disclosure. While these terms are commonly used to refer to the human body, certain terms are applicable to physical objects in general. A standard system of three mutually perpendicular reference planes is employed. A sagittal plane divides a body into right and left portions. A coronal plane divides a body into anterior and posterior portions. A transverse plane divides a body into superior and inferior portions. A mid-sagittal, mid-coronal, or mid-transverse plane divides a body into equal portions, which may be bilaterally symmetric. The intersection of the sagittal and coronal planes defines a superior-inferior or cephalad-caudal axis. The intersection of the sagittal and transverse planes defines an anterior-posterior axis. The intersection of the coronal and transverse planes defines a medial-lateral axis. The superior-inferior or cephalad-caudal axis, the anterior-posterior axis, and the medial-lateral axis are mutually perpendicular. |

Anterior means toward the front of a body. Posterior means toward the back of a body. Superior or cephalad means toward the head. Inferior or caudal means toward the feet or tail. Medial means toward the midline of a body, particularly toward a plane of bilateral symmetry of the body. Lateral means away from the midline of a body or away from a plane of bilateral symmetry of the body. Axial means toward a central axis of a body. Abaxial means away from a central axis of a body. Ipsilateral means on the same side of the body. Contralateral means on the opposite side of the body from the side which has a particular condition or structure. Proximal means toward the trunk of the body. Proximal may also mean toward a user, viewer, or operator. Distal means away from the trunk. Distal may also mean away from a user, viewer, or operator. Dorsal means toward the top of the foot or other body structure. Plantar means toward the sole of the foot or toward the bottom of the body structure. |

Antegrade means forward moving from a proximal location/position to a distal location/position or moving in a forward direction. Retrograde means backward moving from a distal location/position to a proximal location/position or moving in a backwards direction. Sagittal refers to a midline of a patient’s anatomy, which divides the body into left or right halves. The sagittal plane may be in the center of the body, splitting it into two halves. Prone means a body of a person lying face down. Supine means a body of a person lying face up. |

As used herein, “coupling”, “coupling member”, or "coupler" refers to a mechanical device, apparatus, member, component, system, assembly, or structure, that is organized, configured, designed, arranged, or engineered to connect, or facilitate the connection of, two or more parts, objects, or structures. In certain embodiments, a coupling can connect adjacent parts or objects at their ends. In certain embodiments, a coupling can be used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power. In other embodiments, a coupling can be used to join two pieces of rotating equipment while permitting some degree of misalignment or end movement or both. In certain embodiments, couplings may not allow disconnection of the two parts, such as shafts during operation. (Search "coupling" on Wikipedia.com July 26, 2021. CC-BY-SA 3.0 Modified. Accessed July 27, 2021.) A coupler may be flexible, semiflexible, pliable, elastic, or rigid. A coupler may join two structures either directly by connecting directly to one structure and/or directly to the other or indirectly by connecting indirectly (by way of one or more intermediary structures) to one structure, to the other structure, or to both structures. |
