Content
In one example embodiment, the bone attachment features 908, 910 are configured to enable fasteners 710 used with the bone attachment features 908, 910 to extend into one or more bones of the patient. Specifically, the holes 940 are configured such that fasteners deployed into the bone attachment features 908, 910 will show a surgeon the trajectory an osteotomy formed using the resection features 902, 904. In certain embodiments, this can be accomplished because one or more holes 940 of a bone attachment feature (e.g., first bone attachment feature 908 and/or second bone attachment feature 910) may extend through the body 900 to guide the fasteners 710 along a trajectory that is parallel to a trajectory of the resection feature (e.g., proximal resection feature 902 and/or distal resection feature 904) for the osteotomy that the cutting tool will cut. Of course, this parallel relationship can be implemented in one or more of the bone attachment features 908, 910 of the resection guide 820.
