Content
FIG. 13 illustrates a medial perspective view of a resection guide according to one embodiment. FIG. 13 illustrates the proximal resection feature 902, distal resection feature 904, window 906, first bone attachment feature 908, second bone attachment feature 910, and landmark registration feature 1004. In the illustrated embodiment, the landmark registration feature 1004 includes a medial surface 1006 that is contoured to match a lateral surface of a portion of a base of a metatarsal of the patient. Advantageously, the window 906 extends into the proximal resection feature 902 and the distal resection feature 904 such that a surgeon using the resection guide 820c can see (both visually and/or with the aid of fluoroscopy) the distal end of a cuneiform and a proximal end of a metatarsal of a TMT prior to making any cuts.
