Content
In the illustrated embodiment, the proximal resection feature 902 and distal resection feature 904 may extend through the body 900 from the superior side 914 to the inferior side 916. In one embodiment, the proximal resection feature 902 may guide a cutting tool to form a first osteotomy in one or more bones that extends along a first trajectory 928 (See FIG. 9F, 9G). Similarly, the distal resection feature 904 may guide a cutting tool to form a second osteotomy in one or more bones that extends along a second trajectory 930 (See FIG. 9F, 9G). In one embodiment, the first trajectory may be determined at least partially based on a bone model of a patient’s foot, the bone model defined based on medical imaging of the patient’s foot. Alternatively, or in addition, the second trajectory may be at least partially determined based on the bone model and/or the first trajectory.
