Content
In the illustrated embodiments, resection guides 820 include a proximal end 824 and a distal end 826. The resection guide 820a includes a single resection feature 822a. The single resection feature 822a may extend through the body from a superior side of the body to an inferior side. The resection feature 822a may be configured to guide a cutting tool to form a first osteotomy in a first bone along a first trajectory and a second osteotomy in a second bone along a second trajectory. The first trajectory and second trajectory may be determined based on an angle of at least of portion of the single resection feature 822a through the body. In certain embodiments, one or more of the first trajectory and the second trajectory may be at least partially determined based on a bone model of a patient’s foot. The bone model may be defined at least in part based on medical imaging of the patient’s foot. The first trajectory and the second trajectory determined at least in part based on the bone model may determine final trajectory or a proposed trajectory that a surgeon can then alter or revise as needed to accomplish a desired outcome.
